Sorry, too funny to pass on. No, I am not at pipes yet
Connect the pipe to an output/input (highlights blue)
LMB and drag the mouse to the desired length.
LMB at any point to start a new pipe.
Drag to the output/input of the desired device
Going up walls or across ceilings:
Drag pipe to the edge of the surface you're already on.
LMB to start a new pipe
Press R to rotate until pipe is facing the desired direction.
LMB to accept and drag again.
Rinse and repeat. Hope this helps.
tutorial would be nice, also, an addon to the scanner to show a solid surface if it's pointed at one,..and a key for the map, yeah, it's in the database but that's opening a new window and scrolling to towers and then checking each for it's icon. rather unwieldy.
oh, and since i'm fantasizing here, a pedestal or hanging plate for the map. i've spent more time trying to position that effing thing so i can see it reasonably clearly while flying and being able to see where my airship is by positioning the piloting console so i have a clear view fore, port, and starboard. those A pillars are ANNOYING in the cockpits for view blockers.
gastroenteritis...most annoying mechanic ever when coupled with hold E to eat/ press E to pick up.
How do you get pipes to connect from outside your ship to inside?
I think passing pipes through walls is not currently possible on the main branch; if I understand correctly, Pipe Sockets to do this are in the current beta, but currently the beta has a bug that is interfering with the story missions, so if you are not currently on the beta, you may want to stay on the main branch until the next beta update.
I moved the tank as close as I could to door. Then closed the door.
Moved pipe from filter, so it clipped to closed door.
Then connected new pipe, rotating it in such way, so it was vertical (moved on a door's surface). And after some pixel-hinting it connect to the tank (closest slot to me).
Looks ugly and probably a bug, but works.

There's a new object they announced in BETA test branch as a "pipe wall socket", to give you a place you can connect pipes through a wall.
(also think next patch requires the water collectors to be outside, whereas they work inside at present until next patch....)
I hope the "pipe wall socket" works on Ceilings too - I wanted to put the water collectors and tanks on the rooftop of my airship's greenhouse as part of .
.... a free-standing water sprinkler would be great too, to have outdoors plants on a rooftop patio >.>
Or maybe an upgraded planter with built-in sprinklers properly timed to not waste water constantly. >.>
It does not work just fine. It is near impossible to make it work under the best circumstances. It is also the reason I quit playing the game. Look if it worked just fine this thread wouldn't exist.
That would be nice, but there is a much more elegant solution as posted originally by a user named "roterfelsen" (I think).
His solution was to produce a pipe kit instead of actual pipes (using the same amount of materials).
The pipe kit upgrades the module with the pipes basically inside the walls and/or ceiling.
If you have a piece of equipment that uses pipes, you equip it and the modules with the upgrade light up green, allowing you to place the piece of equipment, which then automatically connects to the pipe kit.
You keep the idea of an upgrade to the ship at the same cost in material but make it much more simple to do and keep the ship clean of crooked pipes looking like ♥♥♥♥ (it took me hours to place the pipes in the current system in a halfway straight line just to connect two bloody water collectors to one bloody tank - and it still looks like ♥♥♥♥.)
You can still find the pipe kit in the world using the red pipes etc.
It was strange the more engines I successfully piped the more likely I was to get the "position blocked" message. I also found if I piped them in order say 1,2,3,4 the issue would hit on engine 3 or 4, but if I reloaded and piped reverse order 4,3,2,1 the issue would occur on engine 2 or 1 even though they piped just fine on prior game load. Check out attached screenshots to see the identical pipe placement being blocked in one instance but not the other.

This seems occur most often around and through room frames.
