Monitoring and Throttling Fluid Pipe Networks

Inspecting Fill Levels and Exact Flow Rates

You can monitor how fluids behave inside your pipe network using dedicated diagnostic tools and clear blocks.

1. Observe Clear Pipe Segments: Swap standard pipe runs for clear pipe segments. These transparent segments display real fluid levels in real time, showing visual indicators such as half-full pipes when pressure is low.

2. Equip Engineer Goggles: Place Engineer Goggles into your head armor slot.

3. Look directly at any active pipe line or junction. The goggles provide a visual overlay displaying the exact amount of liquid moving through the network at that moment.

Setting Flow Limits with Adjustable Valves

If one branch of your network is draining your reserves too quickly, you can balance the distribution manually.

1. Install an adjustable valve along the individual pipe line you want to control.

2. Interact with the valve to set a specific flow limit across that pipe line.

3. Use your Engineer Goggles to verify that the flow rate adjusts to match your intended limit without starving downstream systems.
