Tubes! - pipes на версии [1.6.4] [1.7.10]

Tubes are designed to provide a better solution for transporting and sorting items. These tubes work similarly to pneumatic tubes in RedPower, but there are many more types of tubes for various purposes.

Functions

Item transport:

Items in tubes find the shortest path to the inventory, and items cannot be accidentally ejected!

Tube coloring:

Tubes can be painted by clicking on them with paint.

Multi-colored tubes will not connect with each other.

The colors can be cleared by clicking on them with a container of water (such as a water bucket, water bottle).

Filters for phantom items:

Do not waste your items in filters, all filter slots in tubes use phantom items.

Click the left mouse button to decrease, click the right mouse button to increase, hold Shift to increase/decrease by 10

NEI drag integration:

If you have NEI installed, you can drag it from the item list to the filter slot to set it even in recipe mode!

ForgeMultipart and CodeChickenCore

Crafting

To start making tubes, you will need plastic. The easiest way to get plastic is as follows:

First, mix sand, clay, and coal/charcoal to get granules.

Melting plastic granules gives you plastic sheets.

Finally, combine 2 plastics and 1 glass as shown above to get 8 tubes.

If you need more plastic granules, you can use this method to produce 32 tubes of plastic at once:

Melting a bucket of milk gives you milk curds.

Mix this milk curd with coal/charcoal, gunpowder, and 1 bucket of water (forest jars and other similar containers can be used) to get 8 plastic granules.

Buildcraft users:

You can recycle fuel into liquid plastic using an oil refinery. You get 1 bucket of liquid plastic for 1 bucket of fuel.

Mix a bucket of liquid plastic with coal/charcoal to get 8 plastic granules.

MineFactoryReloaded users:

You can use MFR plastic sheets wherever Tubes plastic is used.

Recipes

Restrictive tube:

Adds 5000 to path length

Can be colored

Ejection tube:

Has a forced open direction. Items will be ejected from the open side.

Can be colored. Can be rotated with a BuildCraft-compatible wrench.

Filter tube:

Can precisely control which items can enter it

Compressor tube:

Compresses items passing through it to specific stack sizes.

Useful for reducing delay.

Extraction tube:

Extracts items from the inventory at a rate of 1 stack per 10 ticks

. Can be disabled by applying a redstone signal

. Can be colored. Can be rotated with a BuildCraft-compatible wrench.

Request tube:

A combination of extraction tube and filter tube can extract from both adjacent and distant inventories

. It will also extract the exact amount of item specified in its filter.

Can be rotated with a BuildCraft-compatible wrench.

Routing tube:

This tube allows you to choose the destination for the item.

When choosing a path for the item, the shortest valid path will still be selected.

Painting tube:

This tube allows painting items as they pass through it

. Any dye can be used instead of the listed paints.

Valve tube:

This tube acts as a one-way valve; any items leaving it cannot re-enter. It also acts as an overflow destination if items have nowhere to go.

A redstone signal will open the valve, causing it to act like a regular tube.

Plastic block:

A decorative block made of plastic

Redstone wire:

An item used in the recipe for the filter tube.

Tube cap:

A tube cap allows you to block connections between tubes and other tubes/blocks without using paints or caps

. You can use any saw.
