== Head lift merging and splitting ==
[[File:Ficsit Pipeline Infograph 1.png|thumb|Pipeline Pump behavior and usage]]
When a single fluid source is split into multiple pipelines via a [[Pipeline Junction Cross]], the output head lift of each pipe is equal to the input: <code>outA = outB = in</code>. The flow rate is split, but the head lift is not.

When multiple fluid sources with different head lifts are joined via a Pipeline Junction Cross, the highest head lift among them is applied to the entire pipe network: <code>out = Max (inA, inB)</code>. This 'sharing' effect will not hinder the output of fluid buildings with a lower head lift or positioned at the lower points; for instance, a Water Extractor with its output pipe under a head lift of much greater than 12 meters will still be able to push out Water, provided there is space allowed for it to do so.

Both of the above hold true regardless of the flow rate of input and output pipelines.
