Logistics pipes and fluids, I am confused, any advice appreciated

[WuffleFluffy]

Hi All,

I'm working on trying to autocraft water buckets, you'd think this would be easy given automated tesseracts, redstone, enderium ingots etc...

I've got an aqueous accumulator filling a Railcraft tank with 750,000 units of water, this works fine.
I have a fluid transposer on my logistics pipe network with a Logistics Fluid supplier pipe connected to one of the two sides set for input (with the top item being where empty buckets will be inserted).

At the bottom side of my Railcraft tank I have a valve and directly under the valve I have a Logistics Fluid Provider pipe connected to my logistics pipe network.

In both cases these two pipes are connected by regular BuildCraft Stone transport pipes (Could this be a problem?)

The Logistics Fluid Supplier has power and sparkles, it is set to keep the Fluid Transposer topped up with 10,000 units of water, with partial requests enabled.

The Logistics Fluid Provider Pipe seems to fill with water from the tank but nothing happens, no water is encapsulated (as per DireWolf's earlier spotlight on this mod) or transported to the fluid transposer.

Very confusing, it's got me scratching my head, obviously i've got it wrong.

My confusion stems from the fact that everywhere I google, the pipes are called Logistics Liquid somethingorother, now they are called 'Fluid' something or other.

Any tips most appreciated!

I just tested this out and it seems that Logistics pipes doesn't seem to like providing from the bottom of a railcraft tank. It might be something to do with its auto output feature on the bottom face. It does work if the tank valve is on the side though so you should be able to fix it easily enough.

Thanks

I'll definitely give this a go!

Update: Thanks, works a charm
