how do i set extra utilities pipes to drop items in one location, but only if there is a place for them to go.
like hooked up to barrels. but if there is no place for them to go there, i want them to go to a chest for items to be sorted.

is there a module or setting for this
or does it only matter how long the distance to the last chest is?
Run a line of transfer pipes behind all of your barrels, using covers and/or the stick rotating feature to ensure that items take a snaking path without any loops that goes by all of the barrels. At the end of that string of pipes, place your chest.

Storage Drawer "Compacting Drawers". Each will compact 2 levels(put in cobble and it will compact it 2 times). Bonus is you have easy access to all tiers as well. If you need more then just pipe it out of one drawer and into another for 2 levels more. And so on...

Anyone got the new update for Curse Voice and started getting crashes (only tried Infinity)? I had Optifine (D3, but D1 gives me no success either) and BetterFPS enabled, and have been running tests to see what this is all about.

Edit: crashes after trying to get into a test world. I get in, look around for a few seconds and crash.

Edit 2: I forced a recreation of the options txt file and it seems to be solved. Weird...

another way that is even more early game but not really automatic would be a line of Super Crafting Frames(if mod of same name is in the modpack)

+ 'Machine Inventory Manager' block from 'Steve's Factory Manager' mod.
Basically it only needs one piston,one redstone block and some iron to make and it can compress all the way from basic cobblestone to septuple compressed cobblestone. It does require creating some flowcharts,but it's pretty easy to figure out. Also doesn't require any power and doesn't take much space.

I think so, either that or chunkloaded, one of the two.
I had a quarry (and then later ender quarry) running in an RFTools dimensions, both should chunk loaded themselves. I also tried chunk loading via FTB utils, but neither machine would run until I visited the dimension. Bah, I guess I can visit every time the server restarts.

Not sure about RF dimensions, but recently I had an Ender Quarry in the Twilight Forest. On reload I had to visit the dimension to get it loaded again. A workaround would be to chunk load the place where she is using FTB Utils or something else.

Question: cobbleworks. What can I set it to make on Infinity? I'm thinking cobble (duh), smooth stone, sand, gravel, niter, flint, glass, silicone. Anything else useful I'm missing?

Edit: also, Twilight Forest oregen. I don't seem to be getting any of the Chisel rocks nor AE2 quartz ores. Is this intended? Nevermind. I realized the height is much lower, causing ores not to spawn.

Also, also, is it worth to put more than a potato as a flux modifier on TiC tools? I was thinking using a potato (cheap) and carrying capacitors.

How can i tell a logistics pipe to take things always out from a chest and push out into my network of pipes?
