What am I doing wrong (Transport Pipes)

[Tyrindor]

In this video DW20 connects a cobblestone transport pipe directly to the machines, then to a chest. He claims it will no longer shoot stuff out. So any idea why mine is? Is there no way to get all these machines to output to a single chest? Using Ultimate 1.0.2.

Thanks.

a) What does this have to do with wiring?
b) Show us your setup.
c) What exactly shoots out of where?

1) I fixed the title
2) It's EXACTLY like in the video, I copied him.
3) One machine randomly sends to the other one that has an orange output instead of the chest. He claims this will no longer happen.

I'm not watching a 30 minute video to see DW's setup, when I can look at a screenshot of your setup and probably see the problem in a few seconds.

"Machine randomly sends to another instead of a chest" doesn't sound like "shooting stuff out". I'm not sure what your problem is. Please describe exactly what you want to happen, what steps you take to achieve that, and what actually happens.

Dude, if you'd just click the link it goes exactly to the spot i'm talking about.

We're asking for a screenshot of your setup. Sometimes this helps. Also, sometimes DW20 is just wrong. Help us help you, please?

The machines randomly send to each other instead of the chest.

Are you saying that it's coming out of one machine and trying to go into another through the orange?[DOUBLEPOST=1366663558][/DOUBLEPOST]

Okay, what happens if you bump the pipe network back one? Or maybe use an iron pipe?

Easiest option is iron pipes to control the direction.

 

[KirinDave]

You need to use an iron pipe. The only reason Dire would say this is if he had a setup where he could control the direction things entered the pipe. Most pipes cannot send objects on a 180deg turn, which is what CAN happen if things go the wrong direction. Iron pipes are required here.

I cannot watch the video right now or I'd tell you if he's right and you are misunderstanding or he's just wrong.

Iron pipes just spit them out immediately. He just uses straight cobblestone in the video.

I tried using cobblestone then an iron right before the chest, iron behind each etc. I dunno what i'm doing wrong...

If I remember (I can't re-watch the video, ATM) He does have a problem with items popping out, and has to go back and fix it (or at least comments on it). As stated above an Iron Pipe will fix your problems[DOUBLEPOST=1366664324][/DOUBLEPOST]

make sure you set the iron pipe direction with a wrench. if you don't you will get items popping out of your pipes.

Oh man, I feel like a moron.

Thanks for the help guys. Everythings working now!

I watched the same videos as well, and did the same thing. The least I could do is help.

I am pretty sure that DW later notices that some items from the machine in the middle start by going the wrong way, and he adds an iron pipe (and click it with the BC wrench to make the output on the correct side).

It's been a while since that episode, I suggest you watch the next 5 or so, and he will fix it.

Just as a thing to drop on a thread that may or may not have anything to do with anything ...

Sandstone pipes will not connect to machines. I saw someone (maybe Biffa?) use a pulverizer and then he ran a pipe out the bottom and up the side saying, "I need to use a sandstone pipe because it wont connect to the machines it passes by".

I was amazed that I never even knew there was a sandstone pipe - let alone what it was used for. So darn cool. Sorry it has nothing to do with iron pipes.

Similar to how iron pipes can define one direction items may go, I always wished for a pipe that could define just one direction that items COULDN'T go (without using expensive diamond pipes). This would be an ideal situation for that.
