Hey all, so working on automating some Bottle O' Enchanting off of our mob spawner and running into some issues.

Problem:
  • I need to ONLY input 1 glass bottle into the enchanter per transaction
  • I need to pull out only the enchanted bottle when it is finished enchanting
  • I need to pull out the enchanted bottle as soon as it is done or I lose the extra bottles
The only way I can figure to do this and keep my sanity is to use logistics pipes. The empty bottles come out of my AE inventory, and I want the enchanted ones to go back in. I have the AE running into an interface that has a basic pipe for power and has a provider pipe hanging off it as well. I have a Supplier pipe on top of the enchanter putting the bottles in, which I can regulate to one at a time, so that works well.

My main problem now is getting the enchanted books out. I'm fairly new to LP so not sure of all the intricacies. I have tried:
  • Adding a provider pipe coming out of the enchanter with one Bottle O' Enchanting in the filter
  • Adding a Basic Pipe to an open side of the interface to request a Bottle O' Enchanting
  • Setting one of the Basic Pipes to default route
  • Adding a Chassis Pipe Mk 1 to side of interface with an ItemSink module set for Bottle O' Enchanting
In either/all situations in various combinations, I can't get the enchanted bottle to exit from the enchanter.

Is there a way to get this working? Unfortunately if you import a stack of bottles (or books), it only enchants one of them I believe. In the case of books I think it puts the same enchantment on the entire stack, but in the case of bottles, it seems to only give you 1 bottle back. and if you leave an enchanted bottle in the output slot, new bottles will be lost, so for each situation you need to put in only one at a time and pull the finished out asap. I couldn't get it working with normal BC pipes and gates/wire, so LP appears to be my only option. From the little I understand about LP this should work...it's basically just telling it to suck the finished product out of the enchanter and send it back to the AE system.

I tried tonight changing the pipes from trying to extract from the sides to extract from the bottom but still doesn't want to work. I also tried sticking a request pipe off the gold pipe and it presented the enchanted bottle, and when I selected it, it did pull it from the inventory of the enchanter, so manually pulling it works, but I can't figure out how to automate that.

Man, another great example of trying to over-think something. Not sure why I didn't think of that...I did try basic import bus but dunno why I didn't clue in on using the precision one. This works great, thank you!!!
