Reinforced Bridge Conduit

Reinforced Bridge Conduit is a liquid transport block used to move fluids across gaps, terrain, or other buildings without needing a continuous line of pipes. It automatically links to the nearest Reinforced Bridge Conduit within 4 tiles in the direction it faces, creating an instant crossing for liquid networks. Compared with a normal Conduit, it is tougher and can store much more liquid, making it a more durable option for longer or more exposed transport routes.

Unlike ordinary pipe routing, its connections cannot be set manually. It accepts input from every side except the one it is facing, which is reserved for output. If a Reinforced Bridge Conduit is the end of a chain and has no further destination, it simply outputs everything in its facing direction. This makes layout planning important, since the block will always choose the nearest valid bridge ahead rather than a player-selected target.

• It cannot be placed on Deep Water, Slag, Tar, Arkycite, or Cryofluid floors.
• When placed in a drag line, the game tries to space bridge conduits 3 tiles apart to save resources.
• It is automatically inserted into build plans when a planned liquid line must cross a gap or obstacle less than 3 tiles wide, unless the path is crossing an existing Conduit line, in which case a different bridge is planned instead.
• Over time, its stats were improved significantly: its liquid capacity was raised from 20 to 120, and its health from 60 to 250.
