Hypertube Junction

JunctionBranch

The Hypertube Junction and Hypertube Branch are Hypertube attachments which allow connecting multiple Hypertubes together and allowing pioneers to choose where to travel to.

Construction

Both the Junction and Branch can be built freely on the ground, or attached to a Hypertube, or a Hypertube Support, or directly on each other.

Rotation

To rotate the Junction or Branch, after attaching, use (scroll) to rotate to desired direction, then use again to place.

Usage

While approaching a Junction or Branch, an animated indicator is shown for the way about to be taken. Ways can be changed using E.

It is not possible to change ways with A/D nor set the default.

The Hypertube Branch only allows changing ways when being approached from the "split" side.

History

• Patch 1.1.0.0
  • Introduced Hypertube Junction
    • Three-way hypertube junction that can be placed on its own, or attached to another hypertube junction or a Hypertube Support
    • Once placed, it allows you to connect a Hypertube to its 3 different paths
    • When traveling inside a hypertube, you can change paths by pressing E when approaching a junction to select which one of the routes you want to traverse through
  • Introduced Hypertube Branch
    • Can be placed in a Hypertube to split it into two separate paths, the resulting branching path can only be accessed by traveling through the longer segment due to its shape
    • Useful for connecting existing hypertube networks to newly built ones
    • It can be built on its own, on top of an existing hypertube or attached to a hypertube support or junction
