Phased conductive pipe?
- Thread starter Mannen

it belongs to additional pipes(or something like that) mod, which is addon for buildcraft.
Thank you, I managed to add them, took the additional pipe mod from tekkit lite.
I'm not too familiar with tesseracts, I honestly don't even know what they are, phased conductive pipes are the only "wireless" energy transfer I've used. But I'm learning, slowly
They transfer/recieve MJ using conductive pipes, so I can use two phased to send and recieve MJ all over the world.
e/ Apparently they can send anything that can move with pipes, so liquid and items too.
Tesseracts act just like phased pipes however cause MUCH less lag and arent buggy at all. You should seriously check out the tesseracts.

The phased pipes are in additional buildcraft objects and i don't believe are in the packs because Thermal Expansion adds tesseracts. Which do the same thing as phased pipes. There are energy, liquid, and item tesseracts which do the same thing as their phased counterparts. The main difference is that the energy tesseract has a 20% energy loss whereas I don't believe the phased pipes do. This can be changed in the cofh.cfg if you prefer.
I believe the crafting of tesseracts is cheaper in material wise than phased pipes but requires an induction smelter, magama cruicible, and liquid transposer to make. So you'll need a little more infrastructure first.

if that`s true, that`s one foolish reason. its like ignoring TiC because vanilla already has tools.
Additional Pipes is in the current Tekkit pack, I believe. It works nicely, but TE's Tesseracts completely outclass it.
The one real advantage that BC pipes give are logic gates for added control. That's why I still use them, even if they blow up.
Facades as well.
Tesseracts seem to be the better choice, less buggy. I also don't know what kind of logic you can apply to a phased pipe atm.

Liquid tesseracts do. There are item, energy, and item tesseracts, all crafted slightly differently. Sadly the energy one has a 25%loss no matter what the distance.
Holy Necro, Batman! Ages ago this thread was dead and now you have seen fit to bring it back to ask an inane question.
But still, you have your answer. The "new" tesseracts transport fluid, energy, and items, all lossless, but power is RF instead of MJ now. Each can be configured separately on a single tess' to boot. Have a tank of fuel connected to a tesseract directly attached to a BC Iron Engine, a infinite water supply on the same network, the engine is connected to a BC Quarry via the same network of Tesseract's and the quarry is connected to your ME Network back home with a import bus connected to a chest filled from a tesseract, each tess' only doing what it's supposed to do, all fluids going from input to the engine, the engine sending power one way to the quarry, and the quarry sending items one way to the chest. Even if the quarry had the engine next to it it's the same deal, really.
