Project Red backup/clutter?

[DoxNotch]

So my mob grinder system has an obscene amount of items flowing through it almost constantly and occasionally items will back up and pool into pipe segments between junction pipes. You're supposed to use junction pipes on every corner and intersection, right? Are chunks unloading even though I'm like, right there?

Junction pipes only go on intersections. Corners are good without.

Sounds like your storage is full if items are roaming around in the pipes with a red highlight.

Do you have the proper chips in the pipes connected to the chips? Because they need chips to be recognized as a valid destination.

Yup I've got all the chips in, I've done it a thousand times before but this is the first time doing it on a server. It's all running perfectly now though!

There's a common misconception of extractor chips being needed. They are not needed at all unless you want a constant flow of items out of the storage container. Maybe this is what you're experiencing.
