Problems with sorting machine and pneumatics tubes

[jflpaekes]

Hi everyone.

I have a major problem with my sorting machines and pneumatics tubes. I wanted to build a fully automated biofuel factory. i build my peat farm and my tree farm so far.

My problem is that my pneumatic tubes wont pull materials from the attached sorting amchines which are also connected to a chest. You can see my setup in the pictures. I can make a vido too if you need it.

It never pulled anything from the chest altough my peat fir engine was empty. Can someone explain me what i possibly did wrong in my setup? All the components works like they should (peat engine burns peat and extract the ash, deliver it to the chest etc) but th systems wont work because the tubes wont work

I hope you wear safety gear near that contraption, it looks dangerous!

Have you tried adding a restriction tube & chest onto the system anywhere to see if anything ends up in it? Also is the blue line fed from elsewhere?

i know ^^ it looks like it will explode every minute ^^

I did try that and the same problem. Nothing comes to that additional chest.

Can it be a problem on the server? i've tested this setup on the singleplayer and there all works fine

It's difficult to see from the angles, I'm afraid, so sorry if my questions seem silly to you!

-Is the purple definitely the right colour in the sorting machines? (It looks like it is but I've had issues with magenta and purple before).
-Is the purple tube reachable without going through red or green tubes?
-That filter/transposer that you have going from the iron chest looks like it might be backstuffed - is the TE machine that it's connecting to getting any materials? (If not, is it in the right mode for tube connections?)
-Have you tested whether a tube can put something in through the side of a peat engine?
-Are the items getting through the BC pipes in the way you'd expect? (ie are there materials in the chests that the RP system is looking for?)
