Bypassing a chest when full

[kensclark15]

I have a quarry with a huge sorting machine. The chest where cobble goes tends to fill up quickly so is there a way that once that chest is full the pneumatic pipe will bypass that chest and put the items in a chest next to it?

Pneumatic tubes will send items to the closest available inventory. Simply place another chest down with a pipe connected to it. Think about it this way, Buildcraft pipes push items and the items will go wherever they can, and Redpower pulls items starting with the closest inventory.

Adv Insertion pipe in BC does what you need, simply use the AIP where the pipe connects to the chest and branch off this to another chest, if it wont fit in the first it will go to the second one. But everyone I know pipes all the "crap" (cobblestone, gravel, sand, dirt, etc) into a condenser to make something else.
