Pneumatic cargo tubes arrive this update allowing ships consolidate their cargo access down to a single point. By linking the new pneumatic cargo cages together with cargo tubes and cargo tube entries, all cages in the system can be accessed as if they were one. While it is already possible to load cargo as fast as it can be picked up, the new cargo tubes should increase the accessibility of the action especially on large ships. The cargo tubes and cages can be unlocked with the "Caged Cargo" and "Pneumatic Transport" researches.
The new cargo tubes work simply by locally choosing a cargo pad within the system to interact with. If people like using the new cargo tubes it is possible expand their functionality to interact with new parts such as special variants of resource refineries.
