Pipe Remover
What It Does
A construction tool for placing, editing, selecting, or removing factory structures.
Pipe Remover removes Pipes and no other blocks. It is the exact complement to Demolisher, which removes player-placed blocks except Pipes, so the choice depends on the target type.

Pipe Remover: Confirmed Function
Use Pipe Remover when the selected structure is a Pipe; use Demolisher for other player-placed blocks. The official sources do not document a shared mode or automatic switching between the tools.
Setup and Production Role
This distinction prevents an unsupported assumption that Demolisher can clear an entire Pipe network. The Pipe page provides the infrastructure context, while this tool record covers removal scope only.
Limits and Verification
Selection controls, range, drag behavior, acquisition, refunds, handling of pipe contents, network side effects and platform input are undocumented. The wiki says Buildings while the catalogue says Tool.
