The Template:Game name engine branch (also called SteamPipe branch) is the final iteration of the Orange Box engine branch. It was introduced by Valve in 2013 to replace the archaic GCF file format with the VPK format introduced in Template:Game name. Major shifts in content mounting occurred and also brought Template:Game name from the Template:Game name engine branch to this version. The "custom" folder was also added to make mounting easier and was added as a mounting path for each individual Source game.
While SteamPipe was praised for simplifying how the Source engine mounts content, and including previously-unreleased Template:Game name code, it also broke countless numbers of mods and worsened problems already present in the Template:Game name branch. It also does not have most of the features that the engine branches from Left 4 Dead onwards had.
