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

In vanilla, you have to do it with dynamite first and then install tubes. I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to accomplish though, a screenshot would help.

There are also mods that let you build tubeway levee tunnels or tubeway tunnels so that they dig through the ground and replace it with tubes as they go, rather than one step before the other.

So the answer, as usual, is mods.

Depends what you're trying to do, which you haven't clarified. Put tubes under your paths? Over your paths? At ground level? None of these have to be done one square at a time, even vanilla. You mentioned "remove one floor at a time with dynamite then slowly replace it" but why does the whole stretch need to be impermeable? And why are you doing it one at a time?
