Placing pipe, How do you rotate it for corners?

[clayog123]

"R" key does not function with pipe like it does for belts, am I missing something basic. How do you get pipe to rotate for corners? Tried it with both pieces I can make and it does not work.

Just place it -- it automatically does corners.

Careful when placing near other pipes -- they auto-connect, and will mix your liquid lines if you are not careful.

Only underground pipes have a direction.
Normal pipes connect every way, as a straight, corner, T or X. The problem is the one of avoiding connections because neighbouring will autoconnect and then mixed lines will be blocked.

Pipes must be turned at the surface. Underground bends would be bad.

Will try again, but segments just keep turning red...

[KatherineOfSky]

If segments are red, you are placing them in an occupied location. Note that you can't place pipes over water or trees, etc. Use an underground pipe to bypass the features.

No, area was clear. I was expecting to see animation like that with belt placement. Pipe looks like it will have a gap and tht was throwing me off. Once I actually just clicked it jumped together. Was just me missing the obvious, thanks to all for the quick response!
