new file, I mean, new tekkit update.

[The Tall J.S.]

and by pipes, I mean, buildcraft pipes, both waterproof and redstone/electric. For instance, using the TE magmatic engine connected to sterling engines through wood and golden conductive pipes, power doesn't go through the pipes. And using the magma crucible connected to the liquid transposer by a waterproof wood pipe, I can get redstone liquid into the pipe but not into the transposer.

and by redstone/electric, I mean conductive :D

[DocTabasco]

i'm playing single player. build craft waterproof pipes are not connecting to my liquid transposer or magma crucible, but conductive pipes are. had to re-configure the sides of most of my machines to get them charging again

[The Tall J.S.]

I got the conductive working again too... Don't know what I did...

im playing multiplayer

[DocTabasco]

Perhaps this was fixed on the update.

i'm using *tekkit 1.0.6, which is what the launcher auto-selects as latest reccommended

[fostergrey]

just updated as well (1.0.6) I'm having to break and replace all of my conductive pipes (connected to TE engines) every once in a while. I'm scared to leave for too long and have one explode =C

Edit: I am rolling back my SMP server to an earlier version until this is fixed (Can't have stuff blowing up everywhere)

redstone engine not turning on

[Doomstarr]

my magmatic engines won't detect that there is a wooden conductive pipe attached to them and wont face them when i hit them with my wrench... the only item accepting energy right now is my redstone energy cell.

I'm having the same problem. From the bug I posted on github:

On chunk reload my golden conductive pipes will stop working. They visually appear as if they are connected, but I can clearly mine the block behind them in the 'gap' between them, leading me to believe the pipes are still there, just not connected at all. This has caused my engines/pipes to explode as the power has nowhere to go.

Switch pipes are also buggy. Power will flow through when I place them, and correctly stop when I press lever attached to them. However, if I press the lever again, the pipes visually reconnect, but power will not flow through them again, leading me to believe the pipes are visually connected but again not physically so.

This only began happening with the most recent update.

This means I cannot run my machines currently, for if the chunk is reloaded my combustion engines will stop supplying power to water pump and -> kaboom. Already happened, gotta rollback. Pretty major bug.

if anyone is looking at this and wondering if there is a fix, just revert back to 1.0.5

redstone engine not turning on

Having same issue.

I can't get Redstone Engines to work with any BC pipes. Energy never runs through conductive pipes and the animation never happens. The engine will change colors over time though... Pretty sure Steam Engine does not work either. I've only seen TE engines work.

Never seen phase conductive pipes work either.

Redstone engines no longer can send energy through conductive pipes. It's not a bug, but a design decision.

As for phase pipes, I believe all three are currently not working. There are already bug reports for those however.

[busboybud]

that is unfortunate. I felt it was balanced as it has a very low output but requires no maintenance. So there is no way to create a self-sustaining power system with the loss of this and IC2? All engines require continual check-ups/maintenance...

I could think of two possible options: I guess you could use AE to feed coal into engines? and use infinite water to power a steam engine... even then, you will have to continually mine for coal or other resources. If phase pipes worked, you could teleport lava from the nether and use a magma engine? If it doesn't overheat, that could be self sustaining.

[Lethosos]

A self-fed magma crucible with loads of netherrack will give you lots of power for magmatics past the initial energy cost.

Or a treefarm with biofuel engines.

How would one go about reverting? I don't see an option for that in the Tekkit launcher options.

Click the little gear under 'Tekkit', click 'Manually Select a Build', select 1.0.5 from the drop down menu, press 'Save'. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

I got my pipes working by destroying the engine, all pipes, and the machines. Once I laid everything back down, it began to work again.

Thank you. I was only looking at the Launcher options and didn't notice the small gear under the particular mod.

Once I got the pipes working, I noticed that the TE Powered Furnace will accept power now and charge up, but I can't get it to smelt any pulverized ores at all.

[Calvariae]

Check what the Redstone Control is set at, if no redstone signal is being sent to the furnace set the control to disabled and it should start smelting.

1.0.6 tekkit main

Single player

After much testing, it looks like none of the phase pipes work at all, no matter what.

The Conductive pipes, minus the phased one, work until you get too far away or quit the world.

And upon re-login you have to manually update them with water or something to get them to reconnect without replacing them wholesale.

Transport and Waterproof pipes work fine, didn't test all varieties for the two classes, but i assume they work, minus the phased varieties anyway.

[fostergrey]

This is all very sad. We either have to choose less functionality(pre-.5), the crummy texture glitches (.5), or BC pipes that only work until chunks are updated. I hope there's a hotfix for such a game-breaking update.

Bump for a fix!!

please? :'(

I have be having the same issue with conductive pipes on 1.0.6. See this forum post about the same issue. We have traced it to chunk updates and have found that forcing an update of the stone/golden conductive pipes (wooden seem to be fine for some reason) fixes it. Unfortunately this means either replacing each and every piece of pipe or placing or removing covers (i.e. "glass covers") on them. Some have also reported success by having water flow over them (no luck for me). We are currently testing using world anchors to prevent chunk from being unloaded.

Update: [[[ FIX ]]] I have confirmed in multiplayer v1.0.6 that using a dimensional anchor to keep chunks loaded prevents pipes from breaking. Broken conductive pipes-> place dimensional anchor to cover chunks in question-> remove and replace conductive pipes.
