I am trying to connect the fluid ports on a big reactor to a railcraft tank using logistics pipes. I have tried everything I can think of to make this work, but nothing.
Is it possible to get the water and steam between the reactor and turbines using logistics pipes? As I already have a logistics network in my base this would be the simplest way for me to connect them.
Just to check: how have you got it set up at the moment?
If I understand the system correctly, you'll need a
Logistics Fluid Insertion Pipe to get the fluid from the tank into a network (assuming the Railcraft Tank valves "push" liquids - I can't remember on that one); alternatively if you need to pump out of the tank, you can use a normal BC wooden fluid pipe - that then gets connected to a
Logistics Fluid Connector Pipe, which is then attached to a Logistics Fluid Insertion Pipe and then logistics pipes as normal. Then at the other end, where you want to insert the fluids
into, you need the
Logistics Fluid Supplier - this accepts fluids from the network and puts them into the attached inventory.
Excluding the railcraft tank for a second: if you're looking to create a closed loop between reactor and turbine, I believe the fluid ports DO push fluid - in which case you should just need a Logistics Fluid Insertion Pipe attached to the "hot" liquid output of the reactor, some logistics pipes between that and the turbine, then a Logistics Fluid Supplier attached to the liquid input of the turbine. To get the "cold" liquid back out of the turbine and to the reactor, just have the LFIP on the turbine fluid output and the LFS on the reactor fluid input. Obviously you'll need to set up the correct settings, and it will need power, but that should work I believe.
