Usage
Extension pipes are exclusively used in conjunction with Routed Crafting Pipes or Routed Interface Pipes with Crafting Chips. They allow a crafting system to route item inputs to a different location, thus separating the machine input and output, to allow more complicated machines to interact with crafting pipes.
To configure these pipes, a Data Card is required. Placing a Data Card into the top slot in the Extender Pipe's interface will write data to the card. This card, when placed into the appropriate slow in a Crafting Pipe's GUI, will tell the system that the resource shown above the Data Card should be routed to the reference Extender Pipe.
This is a requirement in order to get machines like Thermal Expansion machines (which do not accept input and output on the same side) to operate with crafting pipes. Furthermore, a connected series of machines can be operated by a single Crafting pipe in this way.
Care must be taken with Extension Pipes to ensure that the expected output does eventually reach the Crafting Pipe. Else, the pipe will never consider it's crafting to be completed, and a particle effect will continue to show within the pipe until the pipe is destroyed.
Items sent to an Extension pipe are considered to be "Active", and thus travel very fast, with a green aura.
