How to Bend, Branch, and Reshape Curved Pipe Layouts

Routing Lines Outside the Block Grid

Curvy Pipes Mod lets you lay logistics lines that break free from standard cubic block restrictions. When running connections between inventories or machines:

  • Bend lines smoothly around obstacles and split them into multiple branches at any angle.
  • Route several separate lines through the exact same block coordinate or weave them through tight spaces between adjacent machinery.
  • Middle-click empty air while placing pipes to toggle the snap grid helper, allowing you to align bends cleanly if you prefer structured angles over freeform placement.

Editing Curve Points with the Radial Menu

You do not need to dismantle entire pipe runs to adjust your logistics path:

1. Open the radial edit menu directly on an existing curved line.

2. Select the option to insert a new curve point to introduce a fresh bend into an existing run.

3. Use the move function on an established point to reposition or redirect a curve without severing the active connection between your machines.

4. Select the delete function to remove unnecessary points and straighten the path.

Modifying curve points dynamically keeps the entire system connected while allowing you to squeeze lines through newly installed machines.
