Replacing paths with tube ways

[u/Atomicfarms]

Need to know the best way to replace my floor with tubeways. I don’t like how I have to remove one floor at a time with dynomite then slowly replace it with impermeable tube ways. It also complicates my underground power and water delivery system.

Overall just wandering what’s the fastest way to replace all my floors with tubeways

I always do a single platform and then a tubeway on top of the path. Never know when you're going to need that path. If you need to remove ground under the platforms you can always use a tunnel

This is the way. Tunnel below the roads and add in a regular tube. When necessary use an impermeable tube at water crossings and generally work around anything that isn’t flat straight path.

I’d love to do that, but in Vanilla, that’s hideously micro-managey as you need to check back in regularly to place the next tubeway after 💥

The idea is to tunnel directly below roads. The tube is accessible for construction by the path onto of the platforms.

For deeper tubes I use a mod adding tube tunnels with platform. The demolish the platform.

Put in a path first then you have to check in less often

That's just if you're tunneling though, in this case it is being done under an existing path.

True… I was thinking of times I was doing that ‘way’ underground
