Conveyor Tube

Category: Functional Block
Status: Functional

Function:
Transports items between inventories.

Fits small ship
Mass: 584 kg
Power: 80 W

Fits large ship and station
Mass: 820 kg
Power: 40 W

Data Controls: [edit] [purge] (?)

The  Conveyor Tube is used alongside several similar blocks to link inventories on a ship or station into a network. Once established, the conveyor network allows items to be easily transferred between blocks and will automatically move items as needed.

For more information about conveyors, see Conveyor system.

The Conveyor Tube is only able to transfer items in a straight line. When intersections or curves are needed, instead use a  Conveyor Junction,  Conveyor Tube T Junction, or  Curved Conveyor Tube, respectively. It only connects to other blocks on two opposite ends where the conveyor ports are located.

A green indicator light on the fully-built Conveyor Tube shows whether it is connected to an inventory on both sides. A red light indicates lack of power, and yellow indicates a disruption in the chain of tubes.

Power[]

From release 1.196 on, power requirements of the conveyor system are not progressive based on length of lines anymore, but are constant 1W.
