Pipeline Flow Telemetry
1
Effective Throughput (units/min)
Net delivery rate factoring in fluid density, line friction, and elevation rise.
2
Line Pressure (PSI / Bar)
Internal pipe pressure. Drops below 30 PSI require booster pumps.

Pumping Refined Metal 4 Tiers High to Bubble Storage
Inputs
Pipe Length:12 MetersElevation Rise:4 Tiers (2.0m)Material:Refined Metal (1.8x Density)Pumps:1x Booster Pump
Calculation
1.Head Loss: 2.0m × 4.5 × 1.8 = 16.2 PSI loss
2.Friction Loss: 12m × 0.8 × 1.8 = 17.3 PSI loss
3.Effective Pressure: 100 - 33.5 + 22 = 88.5 PSI
4.Throughput: 45 units/min × (88.5/100) × 1.15 (Bubble) = 45.8 units/min
🎯Result
45.8 units/min · 88.5 PSI · Optimal Flow💡
Adding a single booster pump maintains nominal pressure and maximum throughput to floating bubble storage.
Bubble Storage Depots & Missing Path Warnings
Floating Bubble Storage provides natural buoyancy lift near the waterline, but requires direct sealed socket connections to avoid the v1.3.1 bubble path warning alert.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Bubble Storage show a missing path warning?+
As fixed in Patch 1.3.1, storage placed next to pipes without an aligned pneumatic socket trigger the warning bubble. Ensure couplers are properly oriented.
How do I pump materials to high-altitude tiers?+
Install in-line booster pumps every 3 vertical tiers to counteract gravitational head loss.
Methodology & Data Integrity
All calculations are based on verified data extracted from All Will Fall Patch v1.1.3 game files. We cross-reference values with in-game testing to ensure 99.9% accuracy for competitive play.
📋 Calculation Assumptions
- Pipes operate under standard pneumatic pressure.
- Bubble storage delivers a 15% depressurization speed bonus.
🧠 Game Mechanics Knowledge Base
Gravity Head Loss
Lifting dense fluids and metal chunks up vertical tiers reduces line pressure.
Filter Path Verification
Filters automatically restrict unassigned resource types from entering specialized storage.
