You might have guessed it from the vote counter in our ingame roadmap, but the our next major update is going to feature pipe systems!
In contrast to the featured dev screenshot, they are going to be constructed underground. Also, for certain resources, they will be able to replace truck transport. We will release more details about the mechanics and the (new) resources affected by this as we develop the system throughout the coming weeks.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the upcoming pipe system and, as always,
Happy Playing.
Finally, pipelines! Been thinking about them this week, but only oxygen comes to mine. Carbon, maybe, if it’s transported in the form of graphite dust suspended in air.
Survival Food is another possibility. Didn’t astronauts used to consume food that was more a slurry?
We could be required to make water, or lubricant, or something.
I imagine we could also transport ore as a slurry which you’d need water for, but would avoid traffic.
Maybe it could be a Futurama-style cross town express
