Is there a way to make all items go through the emerald pipe ?

wouldn't that make it a practically a wooden pipe?

If you don't filter it it should pull everything out, no?

You could always use the emerald pipe with an autarchic gate that feeds into a RP relay. That would act sort of like a filter. It'd also take up the same amount of space since you would need a filter and a timer to automate the pulling where you could also use an emerald pipe and relay. Gets rid of any timer induced lag and also could potentially pull items faster than a filter/timer if you left the autarchic gate running.

Item Detectors would likely go a long way to automating Retrievers as well... this bears experimentation. Or a structure pipe with a gate set to 'items in inventory' -> 'redstone signal'

Anyone else having trouble getting these pipes to pull more than 1 different item out of a chest?

Emerald pipes are round robin.

Meaning: If you have 2 different items, it will pull the first item, then wait for the second before pulling out the first item again.

This allows you to create an exact ratio: If you want 5 of item A for every item B, you put item A in the list 5 times, then item B once. However, it does mean that if you just want to sort out two different items and not maintain a specific ratio that you need two different pipes.

Yeah, I figured that, but for me they completely stop pulling items after completing 1 round.
