The subway is the main mode of transportation abyssas a means of transportation, determines how far you can swim into the world. They come in different types, each with unique stat lines that distinguish them from the others. Understanding the effectiveness of your conduits is crucial for deep sea exploration; after all, you don’t want your submarine to let you down in the late game areas.

So, to help you decide which tubes are worth buying, we’ve arranged them all in a tiered list. Please feel free to refer to it as you move through the different stages of the game so you can make an informed decision when purchasing.

Class S pipelines are all capable of handling the deepest parts of the ocean. Their stats differ slightly, meaning you can use any one of them and successfully complete a mission in any part of the map.

While the ruined pipe is usually the best choice given its acquisition method and overall stats, the bath pipe isn’t far behind.

A-grade pipes are both great options and can tackle certain parts of the mid-game and late-game areas. At some point, they will have difficulty reaching certain parts of the map, such as Angler’s Cave or Spirit Roots. Therefore, we recommend using the following boats to use caution when approaching these areas.

Flat tube

260 Oxygen

Maximum depth 550m

Deep areas can be traversed, but their oxygen and speed stats prevent them from easily traversing the end-game areas.

Oxygen tube

The mid to late game tube has decent overall stats. Limited availability in endgame.

rukiri tube

180 oxygen

Maximum depth 460m

180 kg load-bearing capacity

24 seconds speed

Strictly a mid-game tube with decent stats. The lower top speed and carrying capacity make it less effective in the mid-game.

Class B

Grade B includes all medium pipes in the game. They are best used in the early and mid game and they will serve you perfectly. That said, these options don’t address the later parts of the mid-game, so one can’t expect them to handle end-game content at all.

Mid lane pipe with good stats in the early to mid game zone. Nothing particularly good at anything.

Zepline Tube has a slightly inferior version. Nothing particularly good at anything.

puffer tube

Strictly an early game pipeline for early exploration of the ocean. Worth the investment for beginners.

Class C

Class C is strictly an early game option and once you manage to get your hands on the Blowfish Tubes, they are no longer worth anything. If it helps, we recommend not relying on them at all due to the limited scope of exploration they allow. So with these options equipped, you won’t be too far away from the dome, so switching quickly is important.

fire tube

This is a good choice for the early game, but is surpassed by the Blowfish Pipe. Consider saving resources for puffer tubes.

Ordinary tube

This is a good option to wait until you get your blowfish tube. Its low price makes it a good investment for beginners.

You can use the tutorial tube for the first five minutes and then never again. It is recommended to buy a regular tube and replace it as soon as you catch about five fish.

Maximum depth 15m

5kg load-bearing capacity

20 seconds speed

There is almost no advantage to using this tube after the tutorial.
