What is the difference between the normal gate and autarchic gate?

The only difference between normal and autarchic gates afaik is autarchic gates can pulse to pull things from inventories when put in a wooden or emerald pipe.

Depending on the distance between your arboretum and humus, you may want to use both - a normal gate to check for resources and an autarchic gate to pulse (read: pull) whenever it's below a certain value. I think the gate at the arboretum will show a setting like "<25% resources" or similar. Let it give off a pipewire signal leading to your autarchic gate, which, whenever "pipe signal = on" will "energy pulse", thus sending the humus on its way.

And Moezso is right - the "energy pulse" can only be done by all of the autarchic gates.

For long distances I use the wireless redstone instead of pipe wire. Tons easier. I put a relay on the arboretum, pneumatic tube to a filter pulling humus from a chest. A gate turns the timer pulsing the filter on and off via wireless. Filters are superior to wooden pipes, you can set exactly how much of what to pull at once, and how fast with the timer settings. Plus redpower tubes don't spit items out when there's a full inventory, they return them to whence they came.
