Things you should know about GregTech 5.

[SirZuzu]

i set it like this:
MFR tree farm -> 7 TE sawmill (6 planks + woodpulp) -> 2recyclers (EV) and the planks production is not fast enough =)

p.s. i play ftb resurrection modpack

I feel really noob, but i can't figure this out.. (Im playing with my brother on our own server running resurrection and we can't manage to create the advanced circuit)
To create the advanced circuit you need to make an assembler. So we made an basic assembler (because for the next tier you need advanced circuits)
there are some recipes, but they all need a liquid inside the basic assembler. And that is where our problem lays.. How do we get the fluid inside this machine?

we tried the following:
Made a fluid canner. With this machine we can suck up molten tin from a tank, and we can also export it to the tank, or in pipes etc. (We used a pump cover for this, which we configured with a screwdriver)
However, if we use the exact same settings of the pump cover on the basic assembler it doesnt suck the fluid it... also when we put the machines against eachother it isnt working.. nor with pipes. (pipes do get really hot with the liquid tin in it.. so that far its working)

We are trying things for more than a week now, so thats why i decided to post this.. really hope any of you can send us in the right direction.
What are we doing wrong?

Greetings MisterEagle:

First off, you won't need a pump for this. Pumps are annoying to make too, so, hurray?

Since the liquid going into the assembler is invariably molten tin/lead/solder/redstone, my favorite scenario is to simply place the fluid extractor right next to the assembler. Wrench the extractor so that its output dot faces the assembler. Ensure the output of the assembler is NOT pointing towards the extractor.

Click the fluid-output button in the extractor gui so that fluids push out. This is what saves you the pump. (In the GUI the left button is the fluid button, the other is for items)

If you must use GT pipes, you can still push into the pipe with that button, and fluid should automatically go into the assembler without a pump so long as you're not pumping into the output face AND there's no fluids already inside.

Hope this helps.

wow, fast response! Thank you! Ill be trying it tonight! (on work right now hehe) I'll let you know!

Works like a charm!
