Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information. Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Pipes
|
|
Pipes are used to distribute gasses from one place to another.
|
|
There are a wide variety of pipes available to construct:

|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeHalf" Caption="half"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeBend" Caption="bend"/>

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeTJunction" Caption="T junction"/>

Pipes will [color=#a4885c]automatically connect[/color] to other pipes when anchored (or wrenched) to the hull to form a [textlink="network of pipes." link="PipeNetworks"]
|
|
A network of pipes is commonly called a [textlink="pipenet" link="PipeNetworks"].
|
|
|
|
Pipes will [color=red]not connect[/color] to pipes that are already connected to a different pipe.
|
|
For example, building a bent pipe on top of a straight pipe to form a makeshift T-junction will not work.
|
|
|
|
However, two pipes can share a tile as long as one isn't obstructing the other's connection to another pipe.
|
|
For example, two bend pipes can be placed on the same tile, with one moving gas from north to east, and the other moving gas from west to south.
|
|
|
|
You can color pipes (and most equipment that handles gasses) using a spray painter.
|
|
This is commonly done to distinguish the air and waste components of the station's Distro pipenet.
