chef109 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What do you use to distribute items 50/50 between Pneumatic pipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalyn Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nothing, just split the pipe and be sure both paths are an equal distance to the nearest chest/device. Not always will items split perfectly 50/50, but its generally pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedned2k Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hmmm, well I suppose you could also pipe them into a chest, then use two transposers activated by the same pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZE MkIV Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This is going to be horribly large but you could use an item detector to trigger a toggle latch which is in turn causing two inline transposers to restrict item flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micecd Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Use 2 transposers on a single chest facing opposite directions off of a chest where the items are located. Use a latch beside it with 2 seperate wires and a timer leading into it. You could also use a computer with wire on both sides, alternating the pulses. I suggest using a BC pipe relay system if you can, where the tubes lead into a chest, and a redstone iron pipe is attatched, where when an item passes through, have it signal itself to switch pipe directions. Very tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalyn Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 No matter what method you use, I would still use pneumatic tubes. A lot of problems on servers involve buildcraft, and they seem to lag the server sometimes. Not only this, pneu-tubes go much faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micecd Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The way I was suggesting the tubes doesn't cause those problems. Only the players who don't know what they're doing end up with that, or those who get confused with their builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
