Reinforced Fluid Pipe — Minecraft block

Reinforced Fluid Pipe

The Reinforced Fluid Pipe carries the same 50 mB per tick as the ordinary Fluid Pipe, but its shielding-alloy jacket keeps it from melting inside a running reactor room.

Description

The Reinforced Fluid Pipe is an ordinary Fluid Pipe wrapped in a shielding-alloy jacket, and it is needed in exactly one place: inside a sealed reactor room. A running reactor irradiates its own room, and an ordinary pipe there melts into lava about once every 8 seconds, while the Reinforced Fluid Pipe stays intact — it carries the same #alaindustrial:meltproof tag as the reactor casing and the shielding chest. Throughput is unchanged from the ordinary pipe, 50 mB per tick, matching what a Reactor Inlet lets through anyway. It is crafted from 6 Fluid Pipes, 2 Shielding Plates and 1 Reinforced Shielding Plate, yielding 6 pipes at once. Hardness 1.5, blast resistance 12, mined with a pickaxe.

Guide

Piping water into a sealed reactor room

  1. 1

    Craft the pipe

    Combine 6 Fluid Pipes, 2 Shielding Plates and 1 Reinforced Shielding Plate to get 6 Reinforced Fluid Pipes at once.

  2. 2

    Place it only inside the room

    Use the Reinforced Fluid Pipe exclusively inside a sealed reactor room; an ordinary Fluid Pipe there melts into lava about once every 8 seconds while the reactor is running.

  3. 3

    Connect the Inlet to the Columns

    Run it from the Reactor Inlet to each Reactor Column — the pipe carries 50 mB per tick, exactly what the inlet lets through.

  4. 4

    Set side modes with the Wrench

    Right-click a face with the Wrench to switch it between draw and pour, the same controls as the ordinary Fluid Pipe.

Ordinary pipe still works outside

Outside the sealed room the reactor cannot melt anything, so route water there with the cheaper ordinary Fluid Pipe and switch to the reinforced one only at the wall.

How to craft this block

Frequently asked questions

Why does my Fluid Pipe keep melting inside the reactor room?

A running reactor irradiates its own sealed room and melts an ordinary pipe roughly every 8 seconds; replace it with a Reinforced Fluid Pipe, which carries the meltproof tag.

Does the Reinforced Fluid Pipe move fluid faster?

No — it carries the same 50 mB per tick as the ordinary Fluid Pipe, matching what a Reactor Inlet lets through anyway.

Can it carry steam?

No, like the ordinary Fluid Pipe it does not carry steam; route the columns' exhaust with a Reinforced Steam Pipe instead.

Do I need it outside the reactor room?

No — outside a sealed room the reactor cannot melt anything, so an ordinary Fluid Pipe is enough there.

What do I need to craft it?

6 Fluid Pipes, 2 Shielding Plates and 1 Reinforced Shielding Plate, yielding 6 pipes.
