Advanced wooden pipen turns into block or sapling

[Feekkee]

as the topic sais... my advanced wooden pipe turns into sapling or random block when placed..

what should i do to prevent this?

I get this too. I thought it was because I had a block around it, but it doesn't seem to matter. I'm seeing that it's placing a dirt block, cobblestone, or random sapling when I try to place this. Anyone have any ideas?

This was an issue with 1.0.5. Either update to 1.0.6 and get used to your conductive pipes not working, or stick with 1.0.5 and don't use Adv. Wooden Pipes. I don't think there's any way to fix that bug apart from updating.

New info - It looks like if it comes out of the TOP of some sort of storage, it works. Out of the side or bottom, it turns into a different block.

Example: I put an ender chest down, and an advanced wooden pipe on top of it. It worked fine. Connected to that is a void pipe to get rid of all the junk. I wanted another pipe coming off of it to go into a pulverizer, and on any side or bottom that I tried to put the advanced pipe on, it turned into a stone block.

I'm on 1.0.6 and it's still doing it for me.

Sorry, Duplicate post removed.

Check what version of BuildCraft and Additional Pipes you have installed. The file names in the \mods folder should be 'BuildCraft-1.5.1-3.5.0.Tekkit' and 'AdditionalPipes2.2.0.Tekkit'. I saw where one person had both the 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 versions of these files installed after the update, and I'm just wondering if something similar happened to you.

When did this pipe issue start?

[Brian Griffeth]

I have AdditionalPipes2.2.0.Tekkit and BuildCraft-1.5.1-3.5.0.Tekkit. I'm not sure when this started, I just first tried to do it today. I just got to the point of getting my quarry running, never really had a reason for pulling/sorting before.

Hmm, I don't know why it's not working for you. When I place one down, it'll flicker with the phase pipe's texture for a second, but it places and stays an Adv. Wooden Pipe after that (that only happens when placed on the side of a chest, the top doesn't cause any flicker).

You can either try a clean install of 1.0.6 - backup your saves and then delete tekkitmain - or just ignore the adv. wooden pipe and rely on diamond pipes to sort and place your items in their proper containers.

Sorry I couldn't help you more, maybe somebody else will be able too.

Ya, I switched to regular wooden pipes and diamond pipes to filter/sort. Just a pain. I'll have to rework my whole layout now, but at least I can work around it. Hopefully someone finds a solution, or maybe I will try a full reinstall. I have the upside-down screen problem on the mac anyways discussed at http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/launched-upside-down-mac-w-lwjgl-fix.43689 anyway.
