yet another question... overflowing my planters???

[trav]

Ok. I have myt planters full, and it is ejecting seeds/trees... So I snapped a pipe on one of the outputs to the planter.. but it just continues to spit the seeds out... advice please!!!

Oh buildcraft pipes, bane of newbies and server admins everywhere.

This might be a little much to handle, but learn Applied Energistics and use ME Export Busses instead.

alternatively, make a round about that pumps the excess back, or even just upgrade to logistics pipe. ME isn't the only option, it may be the best one, but it isn't the only.

Planters don't have an output, only an input.

Consider me confused.

Simple low tech option. pipe going to your planter. Last pipe connecting to it is either a diamond pipe or an insertion transport pipe. Connect another pipe too the side of the diamond/insertion pipe and route this to a chest.

For the diamond pipe, place what you want to go into the planter, in the color slot of the pipe that is connected to your planter, AND place something silly, like another diamond pipe or a dirt block into the color slot that the seeds are entering the diamond pipe from. This way it will always try to put them into the planter first. If they won't fit, it will route them back out. And since the pipe they first entered through is blocked by a spacific sorting requirement, they will go out the other pipe to the chest.

Insertion pipes are smarter. They automatically do everything for you. The seeds/saplings will try to go into the planter first, if that's full, they will go into the other pipe instead.
