They allow the player to pump Oxygen from the surface.+ +The Base-attached Air Pump is automatically a part of the structures build. Simply attach power to your base. Attaching the pump directly to the base is no longer required.+ +Note that the function of pipes and air pumps is not to supply a base with oxygen, but to create a location underwater where breathable air is accessible to the player. Pipes cannot supply a base with oxygen.+ +## Usage+ +Pipes allow the player to create a network of interconnected Pipes with readily available Oxygen underwater.+ +The Base-attached Air Pump pumps Oxygen through Pipes from a Seabase without the need to place Pipes at the surface.+ +A Pipe must be connected to an Air Pump in order to carry oxygen. A player's Standard O₂ Tank will start filling once they swim near an active Pipe.+ +### How to Use+ +1. Place a Floating Air Pump above the water.+2. Connect a Pipe to the Floating Air Pump. The Pipe will be shown at the end of the first Pipe.+3. The Base-attached Air Pump can be placed on a Seabase to pump oxygen through Pipes without having to place Pipes at/from the water surface.+4. If the player swims near the end of a Pipe, their air tank will automatically acquire oxygen.+ +## Recipe+ +The blueprint for the Pipe is unlocked by crafting a Standard O₂ Tank.
