== The Basics ==
Plumbing is a system for the creation of <s>piss and shit</s> <s>and cum</s> chemical factories. Plumbing is also an inaccurate name, since you'll be making chemical factories and not toilets.

The plumbing system is made up of three basic parts: A supplier, a duct network and a demander. A supplier supplies chems through a network of fluid ducts to a machine that demands that reagent. Component machines have connectors that duct networks will automatically connect to; red is mean so red ports take, blue is nice so blue ports give. A machine can be both a supplier and a demander. Machines next to each other can be connected without having [[#Fluid_Ducts|ducts]] between them. 

The maximum transfer amount is 10 units per 2 seconds.

These can be found in stacks in autolathes and in the chemical laboratorium. Simply click them on a tile to place them down. You can click it in-hand to change the color and layer, and different colors and layers will not connect to one another automatically. You can force two different colors to connect by click dragging them to each other while holding a wrench. You can connect two different layers by using a pluming layer mantifold. 

To pick up a placed duct and turn it back into an item, use a wrench on it.

=== Physics === 
Plumbing physics might not be entirely as you expect. Due to pressure technology, there will never be any leftover in ducts. Thus, reagents transfer instantly from supplier to demander. 

If a machine holds 5 water, 5 sugar and 5 mannitol and a machine requests 5 units, the requesting machine will receive 5 water for the first request. Normal chemistry would get you 1.66... water, 1.66... sugar and 1.66... mannitol. This might seem illogical, but it's necessary for <s>Floating Point Errors</s> advanced factories.
