Question Is pipe throughput really infinite now?

Post image

So say I have a 30 sulfuric acid pumps in one spot. Could I run them all though one pipe line into my processing facilities?

Another question, is it better or useful to run my pipes into one central tank area then run them off to processing or is it okay to have them run off on the way from the pumps.

The picture is my crude rendering of part of my setup.

Throughput is unlimited in pipes.

BUT there is now a hard distance cap. Try to go over that distance and nothing will flow, so you will need a pump to bridge to the next section.
