Steel Pipes are essential components in Satisfactory, and they can be crafted early in the game, which helps in creating valuable equipment.
Satisfactory focuses on getting your factory operational, which can be quite challenging. Many machines require Steel Pipes as a core item. While Steel Pipes need to be crafted before advancing to more complex machinery, doing so is straightforward.
If you’re unsure how to increase your Steel Pipe stock, we’ll provide you with the crafting recipe, key farming techniques, and their various uses.
Steel Pipes Recipe
To craft Steel Pipes in Satisfactory, you will need Steel Ingots.
You will require three Steel Ingots and a Constructor, which unlocks at tier three with Basic Steel Production.
The recipe is not complex, but you’ll need Iron Ore and Coal to produce Steel Ingots before starting to create Steel Pipes.
Best Way to Farm Steel Pipes
To ensure the efficient operation of your factory, it’s essential to optimally farm the materials needed and keep them ready for future use.
Follow these steps to farm Steel Pipes effectively:
- Build a Smelter.
- Craft a Constructor and place it near the Smelter for easy access.
- Craft a second Constructor.
- Connect a storage container to the second Constructor.
- Use Conveyor Belts to interlink all machinery.
- Employ the Steel Ingots recipe in the first Constructor and the Steel Pipes recipe in the second Constructor.
Once completed, you will have an automated production line for Steel Pipes in your factory.
