Because there are no logistic pipes in tekkit, I'm trying to build a sorting system with redpower tubes
This is what I have
~all machines are on, have power, and have a pulse when needed~
Alchemy chest as a dump point. Sorting machine attached from it, set to "any item with default route" mode
1 macerator with a sorting machine, same settings
1 furnace, with a sorting machine, same settings
2 chests as end point
I have the first sorter set to send iron ore to the RED pipe, and I have the pipe that goes into the macerator painted red.
I have the second sorter, on the macerator, set to send iron dust to the ORANGE pipe, the pipe going into the furnace is painted ORANGE
I have the third sorter, on the furnace, set to send iron bars to BLACK, the pipe going into one of the chests is painted BLACK.
Now, I can get things going as far as having the ores sent to the macerator, and the macerator sorting machine sometimes takes out the dust, but then glows red with an error. I have NO idea what is wrong.
Do I have to have a separated point-to-point pipe for routs, like one would have if they are making a sorting with buildcraft pipes, but WITHOUT logistic pipes, or would I be fine having a single path bus network, like logistic pipes, where only the end point is painted? I currently have a bus network..
Thanks

Tried something new
Black = chest, top chest is the origin
Orange = sorting machine
Grey= macerator
red=furnace
The first sorting machine will pull ore, send it to the macerator, but the next machine won't pull it from the macerator
