Conductive pipe not working

[Brave Sir Wobin]

Hey guys.

When i play in singleplayer, and log out, then when i relog, all my conductive pipes has stopped working. It needs to be replaced then it works fine after.

In multiplayer this happens when the server is reset, which it is every nigth, and it's getting pretty annoying to replace all my pipes every play day.

The phased pipes has stopped working alltogether after the restarts

Does anyone have any tips or solutions to this issue, i would be thrilled.

Sincerely.

Never use conductive pipes or phased pipes. Ever. They suck. Always use Thermal Expansion's Redstone Energy Conduits and Tesseracts. (also, change the tesseract energy loss in the config to 5% to match phased pipes or convince your server owner to do so to discourage phased pipe use since they suck so hard and are currently broken as you have seen)

[Brave Sir Wobin]

Hmm, i'm actually not familiar with those. Does they work in the same way?

Nope, they don't bug out every 5 minutes.

They are a lot more expensive though. Also, all BC energy pipes and phase pipes broke in the 1.0.6 update.

[Brave Sir Wobin]

The price is not a problem. Do they work with gates aswell?

[Calvariae]

I honestly have never used any gates before, so I couldn't tell you. The FTB Wiki article has a subsection on conduit interactions with gates, but you might have to experiment in creative to check and see if it works.

Can the redstone energy circuits drag out MJ from an energy cell?

[Calvariae]

Yep, and for future reference, a big emphasis on this release of Tekkit was on compatibility; essentially everything in this mod is designed to work with everything else.

Plus Conduits and Cells are from the same mod.

[Brave Sir Wobin]

So.

With conductive pipes, i needed a wooden for dragging the MJ out of the redstone energy cell, then add golden afterwards

With Conduits, i just add them to the energy cell and it can add power to stuff?

in short, yes. And they (redstone energy conduits) do a good job of bleeding off energy when a system is at capacity so that engines don't overheat (at least, my magmatics don't).

[Brave Sir Wobin]

Thanks for all your help guys

I still can't make the conduits get MF from the redstone energy cell though. I migth be doing something wrong

[weirleader]

did you make sure that (a) the orange arrow is pointing out (as opposed to a blue arrow pointed in) -- if not, right-click with the wrench so it's in output mode, and ( maybe this is silly to point out, but is your redstone energy cell set to require a redstone signal?

(EDIT: oh, just occurred to me that orange/blue might simply be my texture pack; but there should be some sort of arrows indicating directionality)

[Brave Sir Wobin]

Already checked the redstone signal It's not that. What arrows are those you are mentioning?

[weirleader]

right at the juncture between conduit and energy cell should be something indicating direction; whacking it (right-clicking) with the wrench will toggle it to IN or OUT. I'd share a pic, but I've never posted images on this forum and I know they have some specific way you're supposed to do it. If you continue to struggle with it, I'll see about uploading a pic.

[Calvariae]

Yea, the conduits have color coding, the output must be set to orange and the input to blue. People talk about seeing arrows on the conduits but I don't see them, could just be me though.

Ninja'd. If you give me a minute, I'll upload a picture for you two.

[weirleader]

think this image will work; let me know if it doesn't.

[EDIT: guess I can see for myself]

[EDIT #2: orange arrow point out (right), blue arrow pointing in (also right, in this case)]

[Calvariae]

Here's a pic without a texture pack, as with Weirleader's pic the cell on the left is outputting to the cell on the right:

[Brave Sir Wobin]

Ohh, never mind, i figured it out.. Thanks

[Brave Sir Wobin]

You guys are just great! Thanks alot everyone

The "arrows" in this example, are the six 'pixels' adjacent to the orange/blue bars. in both cases, they sort of 'point' right.

[Brave Sir Wobin]

On a completly different note, what texturepack is that?

[weirleader]

I grabbed it from this post (see the last post for the link). It seems it's based on Sphax 128, but may have some modifications.

Lol, yea I see those, but I definitely wouldn't call those arrows.

[weirleader]

I know, it's a stretch of the imagination.
