I've decided to add Extra Cells to my game since my tank room is getting crowded. I've watched a spotlight - VERY nice! - but I'd like to know how the Extra Cells fluid system will work with Logistic Pipes.
Can you just add a fluid provider pipe to an ME Interface and have it provide all the fluids in the system? Do you need to use tanks as buffers? I'm asking because the ME network has a problem with multiple LP provider pipes going out of the same subnetwork (or a system with several subnetworks if there is any accessibility between them). As opposed to items, I would actually prefer to use export buses to supply my machines, since with fluids the order "Keep the tank of this machine full" is usually just what you want. However, I can't dispense with the LP system since the ME network is so abysmal at handling limited supply requests and I don't want a third cable/pipe network to connect to my machines unless they're dedicated to AE autocrafting.
So, how does the Extra Cells fluid system work with the LP fluid system?
