Hey all,

So I'm starting to poke about in logistics pipes and being equally impressed as I am confused.

I've currently got 8 chests full of scrap, which I'm sure you agree, is more than enough to shove into a mass fabricator.

Instead of standing there and feeding it manually, I thought about using logistics pipes to automate the ordeal for me. In my test world, I'm trying to work out how to do this so only one pipe is touching the mass fabricator, so it both shoves scrap in, and pulls UU-Matter out. Sounds like a good idea! However I've run into a few issues making this a reality:

Using a provider pipe at the chest full of scrap and a supplier pipe at the mass fabricator, this loads in scrap as required, as it's being consumed. Problem is, it's not pulling anything out. Understandably so, given that it's only a supplier pipe.

Enter the chassis pipes.

Currently having a Mk1 chassis pipe at the chest with scrap, Mk 2 chassis pipe at the mass fabricator, and a Mk1 chassis pipe at the chest that I was loaded with UU-Matter, which has the ItemSink module with it set as the default route.

Here's where I'm having trouble, basically, which modules should I have where? I've tried all manner of combinations.

At the mass fabricator, I sensibly have an extractor module, to pull out the UU-Matter, which goes to the default routed chest, perfect!

Now which modules should I have to supply the mass fabricator with scrap? I've tried mixes of provider, quicksort, and passive supplier modules to no avail. It almost seems as if there's a missing non-passive supplier module, something that requests items as the inventory it's looking at is in need of whatever you tell it (like the supplier pipe, only as a module). Hopefully I'm wrong, as it seems like an obvious requirement.

Here's the "simple" setup.

Any help would be simply amazing, thanks in advance!

I didn't even know this happened, I am ok with this as it's invisible and doesn't effect me in any way.

Why does this bother you so much?

Quote from Tomcat

you're best off with a layer or two of reinforced stone instead of water, at-least until you can be confident at your reactor building skills

Last time I played, I enjoyed wrapping my reactors in 5 layers thick of reenforced stone, simply because why not

Thanks for the information guys!

Well that's a shame!

Thank you kindly.

Hello everyone! I'm back from quite the break from Minecraft and am quite excited to get back to playing, along of course with IndustrialCraft². I've been reading up on the changes, specifically around the revamped nuclear reactor systems and am planning out designs already. However after much reading, I'm given the impression that dunking your reactor in water is no longer an effective means of cooling. Is this true, you now just let it hang about in the air?

Thanks for any clarification!

Did you know that, if you use the middle Mousebutton/wheel to click a Link, it will automatically open a new Tab?

In my experience, it knows when multiple tabs are open, so pauses their countdown timer.

What's really helpful is a browser plugin that bypasses the countdown altogether.

That's very clever! What kind of yield are you getting over time?

Maybe he's actually direwolf20.

So was this person you talked to, 11, maybe 12 years old?

Welp, this is going to get deleted.

BuildCraft was the first mod I ever managed to install and played with solely for the longest time, so I'm a little bias ..

I've never been a fan of dark coloured webpages, invert the colours and try that!

All I can think of is Notch's 0x10c, or Frontier: Elite II.

What was the source?

Until more and more RedPower items become power hungry.

My mind can't comprehend the awesomeness of that there mobile base! Incredible!

In the last picture, was that glowstone submerged in lava?

Great machine you've got going, I'd love to see the end result of all this obsidian!

thaile, that is awesome! Great work

Nope, all online.
