Hi All,

I've become hooked on logistics pipes ever since one of DireWolf 20's videos, I've got this big series of rooms under my base with all my auto crafting integrated into a remote order pipe and remote orderer :)

I've worked out how to do most things, including integrating most Thermal Expansion machines to pulverise and smelt etc.

One thing though has me stumped at the moment, I am working on a project to automate the manufacture of Tesseracts.

I've sorted out the manufacture of the Pyrotheum dust and now just need to make the bucket of Resonant Ender. I am finding this a bit tricky.

This is an item which requires the work of two machines:

- Magma Crucible
- Fluid Transposer

Working with five input items:

- 4 x Ender Pearl (Sent to Magma Crucible)
- 1 x Bucket (Sent to Fluid Transposer)

Producing one item:

- 1 x Bucket of Resonant Ender

Essentially.. my problem seems to be that I need a way to to have a crafting request received by the Fluid Transposer to then have the associated Magma Crucible to request Ender Pearls and Melt them, which will fill the fluid transposer which can then complete crafting the requested item.

Does anyone have any tips/ideas? I'm sure it's possible but despite looking at as many resources as I can find some of these modules/pipes are a bit confusing where liquids are concerned.

Thanks for taking time to read, appreciate any help. :)

Sorry peoples.

I figured it out!

Here's a screenshot.

It's the satellite pipe :) that solved this one for me.

OK here's what I did (in case anyone does a forum search in future).

The Magma crucible on the left is configured for input at the top and output to the right.

A satellite pipe is then connected to the top of the Magma Crucible and given a satellite ID of #1

To the right of the Magma Crucible I placed a Fluid Trans-poser, configured for input from the left side, the top side and for output to the bottom side (there needs to be at least one output for a machine in order for the crafting pipe to be able to use 'Sneaky' logic to grab crafted item).

On top of the Fluid Trans-poser I placed a standard crafting logistics pipe, configured to request 1 empty bucket, I set the satellite ID to #1 to match the satellite pipe connected to the Magma crucible. Then, I placed four Ender pearls in the area for the Satellite order, which are the three right-most empty spaces under the world 'satellite' (Note, the texture pack I am using isn't shading the satellite area for some reason).

This works and I'm very happy :) The crafting request received by the Fluid Trans-poser for a bucket of Resonant Ender triggers a request for a bucket, the associated Satellite pipe will order a request for four ender pearls to be sent to the Magma Crucible, which are melted, the liquid is then moved from the Magma Crucible to the Liquid Transposer by normal TE mechanics.

I hope this is of some help :)

I'll now auto-craft the Enderium Blend and make the ingots to make Tesseract frames and then fill those frames :)

Works. I did it with destabilized redstone exact the way you did it. ( yes i know the thread is old :) )

Many thanks for your explanations
