Automatic 'Chest >>> Macerator' (ore intelligence)

[Blackbook]

As per 'tekkit with duncan' videos on youtube, I've set up a chest which I put all my raw ores in to. What I'd like is a wooden pipe to take them out and feed them into my macerator automatically -- But, the problem is when it gets to a new ore, it spits them out.

Is there a way of having some intelligence to the wooden pipe so that it only takes an ore once the macerator has finished?

cheers

Well, there's always the choise not to use buildcraft pipes and use redpower tubes instead.

Get a filter, a timer, and some tubes. The filter acts like a redstone engine, but it pulls stacks of items every time, the good thing about tubes is they will never overflow, items will just go back to the chest if it can't get into the macerater.

I have it like this.

R

M W R

    F

R= Relay

M= Macerator

W= Wooden Pie

F= Furnace

As long as you dont have more then 9 diffrend type/stacks it working OK without spilling stuff everwhere.

mh yeah not bad. but you should use red alloy wire and jacked wire to connect to the redstone tube that looks better an then redstone dust and can be placed on wall and such.
