This article is about the buildings category. For the research node, see Plumbing (Research).
Plumbing buildings are needed to maintain a subterranean asteroid base.
The majority of plumbing buildings are used to organize the flow of liquid around the base. This includes buildings that can be used to improve the hygiene of the colony.
List of plumbing buildings
| In | Name | Description | Automation | Power | Dimensions | Materials | Research |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Empties bottled Liquids back into the world. A bottle emptier's Element Filter can be used to designate areas for specific liquid storage. |
1 x 3 tiles | 400 kg  |
|||||
| Carries Liquid, allowing extreme temperature exchange with overlapping buildings. | 3 x 1 tiles | 100 kg  |
Liquid Tuning | ||||
| Carries Liquid with minimal change in Temperature. Can be run through wall and floor tile. Pipe insulation prevents liquid contents from siginificantly changing temperature in transit. |
1 x 1 tiles | 400 kg  |
Improved Plumbing | ||||
| Gives Duplicants a place to relieve themselves. Spreads very few Germs. Lavatories transmit fewer germs to Duplicants' skin and require no emptying. |
2 x 3 tiles | 400 kg  |
Sanitation | ||||
| Runs one Liquid Pipe section over another without joining them. Can be run through wall and floor tile. Separate pipe systems help preventing building damage caused by mingled pipe contents. |
3 x 1 tiles | 100 kg |
Plumbing (Research) | ||||
| Sieves one Liquid out of a mix, sending it into a dedicated Filtered Output Pipe. Can only filter one liquid type at a time. All liquids are sent into the building's output pipe, except the liquid chosen for filtering. |
Input Green: Enable Red: Disable |
-120 W |
3 x 1 tiles | 200 kg |
Filtration | ||
| Tracks the mass of liquid flow through the pipe. Connects to an Automation grid to automatically turn Liquid flow off when the specified amount has passed through it. |
Input Green: Reset counter and start liquid flow Red: Nothing Output Green: When the total amount of liquid meets the set value. Red: When the amount of liquid is below the set value. |
-10 W |
1 x 2 tiles | Liquid Tuning | |||
| Sends a Green Signal when the selected Liquid is detected within a pipe. Element Sensors can be used to detect the presence of a specific liquid in a pipe. |
Output Green: Chosen Liquid is detected Red: Chosen Liquid is not detected |
1 x 1 tiles | 25 kg |
Liquid Tuning | |||
| Sends a Green Signal or a Red Signal based on the internal Germ count of the pipe. Germ sensors can help control automation behavior in the presence of germs. |
Output Green: When the germ count in the pipe meets the criteria Red: When the germ count in the pipe does not meet the criteria |
1 x 1 tiles | Pathogen Diagnostics | ||||
| Sends a Green Signal or a Red Signal when pipe contents enter the chosen Temperature range. Thermo sensors disable buildings when their pipe contents reach a certain temperature. |
Output Green: When temperature of liquid content meets the criteria Red: When temperature of liquid content does not meet the criteria |
1 x 1 tiles | 25 kg |
Liquid Tuning | |||
| Carries Liquid between Outputs and Intakes. Can be run through wall and floor tile. Liquid pipes are used to connect the inputs and outputs of plumbed buildings. |
1 x 1 tiles | Plumbing (Research) | |||||
| Draws in Liquid and runs it through Pipes. Must be submerged in Liquid. Piping a pump's output to a building's intake will send liquid to that building. |
Input Green: Enable Red: Disable |
-240 W |
2 x 2 tiles | 400 kg |
Plumbing (Research) | ||
 |
Allows Liquids to be loaded in the Liquid Cargo Tank of a linked rocket. Automatically links when built to the side of a Rocket Platform. Uses the liquid filters set on the linked Rocket Platform. Rockets must be landed to load or unload resources. |
Input Green: Enable Red: Disable |
-240 W |
2 x 2 tiles | 400 kg |
Flow Redirection | |
|
Allows Liquids to be unloaded from the Liquid Cargo Tank of a linked rocket. Automatically links when built to the side of a Rocket Platform. It has build-in liquid filters. Rockets must be landed to load or unload resources. |
Input Green: Enable Red: Disable |
-240 W |
2 x 3 tiles | 400 kg |
Flow Redirection | |
| Connects to an Automation grid to automatically turn Liquid flow on or off. Automated piping saves power and time by removing the need for Duplicant input. |
Input Green: Turn flow on Red: Turn flow off |
-10 W |
1 x 2 tiles | 50 kg |
Improved Plumbing | ||
| Controls the Liquid volume permitted through Pipes. Valves control the amount of liquid that moves through pipes, preventing waste. |
1 x 2 tiles | 200 kg |
Pressure Management | ||||
| Releases Liquid from Liquid Pipes. Vents are an exit point for liquids from plumbing systems. |
Input Green: Enable Red: Disable |
1 x 1 tiles | 400 kg |
Plumbing (Research) | |||
| Draws in a small amount of Liquid and runs it through Pipes. Must be submerged in liquid. Mini pumps are useful for moving small quantities of liquid with minimum power. |
Input Green: Enable Red: Disable |
-60 W |
1 x 2 tiles | 100 kg  |
Valve Miniaturization | ||
| Gives Duplicants a place to relieve themselves. Requires no Piping. Must be periodically emptied of Polluted Dirt. The colony that eats together, excretes together. |
2 x 3 tiles | ||||||
| Manually pumps Liquid into bottles for transport. Duplicants can only carry liquids that are bottled. Pitcher Pumps allow Duplicants to bottle and deliver liquids from place to place. |
2 x 8 tiles | 400 kg |
|||||
| Carries Liquid, allowing extreme Temperature exchange with the surrounding environment. Can be run through wall and floor tile. Radiant pipes pumping cold liquid can be run through hot areas to help cool them down. |
1 x 1 tiles | 50 kg |
Liquid Tuning | ||||
| Improves Duplicant Morale and removes surface Germs. Regularly showering will prevent Duplicants spreading germs to the things they touch. |
2 x 4 tiles | 400 kg |
Sanitation | ||||
|
Gives Duplicants a place to relieve themselves. Empties directly on the other side of the wall. Spreads very few Germs. Wall Toilets transmit fewer germs to Duplicants and require no emptying. |
