Pipes and the Floating Air Pumps are crafted by using the Fabricator. They allow the player to pump Oxygen from the surface.
The Base-attached Air Pump can be constructed using the Habitat Builder, which allows the player to pump Oxygen from a Seabase instead of the surface. This may be a more preferable choice for areas too deep to use the Floating Air Pump.
Usage
Pipes allow the player to create a network of interconnected Pipes with readily available Oxygen underwater.
The Base-attached Air Pump pumps Oxygen through Pipes from a Seabase without the need to place Pipes at the surface.
A Pipe must be connected to an Air Pump in order to carry oxygen. A player's Standard O₂ Tank will start filling once they swim near an active Pipe.
How to Use
- Place a Floating Air Pump above the water.
- Connect a Pipe to the Floating Air Pump. The Pipe will be shown at the end of the first Pipe.
- The Base-attached Air Pump can be placed on a Seabase to pump oxygen through Pipes without having to place Pipes at/from the water surface.
- If the player swims near the end of a Pipe, they will automatically receive Oxygen.
