Pipes are the core and main feature of the Transportation module. Essentially, pipes are used to transport items from one container to another. There are currently 6 pipes that are specialized to do a certain function. You may be familiar with BuildCraft Pipes, in which case you already know what pipes do.
Pipes are useless without Chips, be sure to use chips when necessary.
The Pipes
Click on a pipe name to find out more about it. A brief overview has been written beneath each link.
Item Transport pipe
The basic pipe. Carries items along a network, they connect other pipes together but do not connect to inventories.
Routed Junction pipe
Put these pipes at pipe junctions for efficient routing. Think Roundabouts over Crossroads.
Routed Interface pipe
Connect these pipes to an inventory for sending and receiving items.
Routed Crafting pipe
Set up a crafting network using these pipes to fetch ingredients along the network and output the product in the network.
Routed Request pipe
Attach to an inventory that you want to put items into then use the GUI to request items from the pipe network.
Routed Extension pipe
Uses Data Cards
