Reinforced Conduit

Reinforced Conduit is a block used to transport liquids in a straight line by passing fluid forward from its input to its output. It was introduced in Build 136 and received a capacity increase in Build 147, raising its internal liquid holding from 20 to 50 liquid units. The Reinforced Conduit does not consume power or items to operate.

The Reinforced Conduit only accepts input from its rear; it does not accept non-Conduit inputs from its sides. This means tanks, pumps, or other liquid sources placed at lateral positions will not feed directly into a side of a Reinforced Conduit unless those sources connect via Conduits themselves. Side connections from other Conduits are allowed, so chains and branching pipe networks should be built using Conduit segments to route fluid into a Reinforced Conduit’s rear or via connected Conduits.

Practical notes for use and placement:

• Place Reinforced Conduits in lines to push liquids forward reliably; use junctions of Conduits when you need to merge or split flow before the reinforced segment.
• Because it takes no power and has no consumption, Reinforced Conduits are inexpensive piping for routes where you need extra buffer capacity and durability in the conduit line itself.
• The block’s internal buffer holds 50 liquid units after Build 147; design storage and pump throughput with that capacity in mind to avoid unexpected backups.
• To move fluid into machines or storage positioned beside a Reinforced Conduit, insert an intermediate Conduit piece or use a compatible block that can receive from Conduit-facing sides rather than relying on side insertion into the Reinforced Conduit.
• There are no special upgrades or reinforced variants applied to this block beyond its name; its function is strictly to forward liquids along the pipeline.

Use Reinforced Conduits when you need a simple, passive forward-only liquid transport segment with a moderate internal buffer and no power requirement. They integrate into larger Conduit networks but will not accept lateral non-Conduit input directly.
