Elbow

The Elbow Pipe is a structure which consists of 2 pipe entrances, like the Pipe. It bends sharply at a 90-degree angle.

Usage

The Elbow is used in situations where a pipe must rotate 90 degrees but cannot do so by normal means or in situations in which a pipe must rotate upwards but cannot do so by normal means. This allows pipes to be placed where they'd normally be too short and allows pipes to be rotated without a pipe needing to be placed. However, usage of the elbow to connect objects far away from each other is limited and not recommended. Instead, the Elbow is best used in tight spaces, such as underground or inside Spires.

Behaviour

Placing of the Elbow is comparable to the Pipe. When being placed, it will snap to open pipe entrances, allowing for secure connections. It is notable that the Elbow does not need to be placed snapped to a pipe entrance.

Pros and Cons
