The Hyper Tube Support is a building used to support the Hyper Tube. When situated at the end of the tube, it can be used to exit it, but not to enter, where a Hyper Tube Entrance has to be used instead.

The Stackable Hyper Tube Support is a building used to stack the Hyper Tube Support. It acts the same as the Stackable Pipeline Support and Conveyor Pole Stackable, infinitely stackable and is compatible to stack on any of the other stackable supports, see images below.

Stackable Supports

As mentioned previously, all stackable supports are compatible with each other, they also have the ability to collide and work functionally, what otherwise shouldn't be allowed is possible with the stackable supports.

From left to right is the Stackable Hyper Tube, Pipeline, then Conveyer.

As seen in this photo the stackable supports can collide and nest within each other while remaining functional.

Construction

Hyper Tube Support

• Its horizontal angle can be changed by scrolling. After choosing the location, its height can be increased by looking up or down and its vertical angle by scrolling. The Entrance can be attached to it once it's been built.
• A Hyper Tube Support is needed for every 100 meters of Hyper Tube, however it can be deconstructed and yet a new Hyper Tube can be snapped to the tube without the support.
  • A Hyper tube can meet the 100 meter requirement by using a Stackable Hyper Tube Support instead

Trivia

• The supports, even the ones in the middle of the tube, appear to gradually open and close their shutters as the engineer gets closer or further away along with the indicator light shifting between red and green.
