logistics pipes + cc api = some weirdness

[steve g]

i tried doing some automation where a bunch of turtles sitting on request pipes would be controlled via wireless to request items, and have those items routed to whatever the request pipe was connected to. this was with version 135 of lp, and 1.3.x of computer craft. result was sometimes the items would show up in its destination, sometimes in the turtles inventory. and most times, it would take a while for the item to sort out where it needed to go as it travelled all over the pipe network until it found the one request pipe that did request it

now im running 246 of lp, 1.6.3 of cc...and now im seeing that the items now go straight into the turtles inventory. why? the pipes do not physically connect to the turtle...yet there the item sits. this is really quite annoying, as it should be going on to the destination the request pipe is actually connected to

any ideas?

You could connect them via wired modems so the turtle never touches the pipe.

Maybe try using pipe plugs where the pipes connect to the turtle or whatever is next to the pipe.

that was exactly it. they now route correctly to the destination, and i still get to wrap them and use the api's to request items, etc. many thanks!
