Blue Power Pneumatic Tube System

Blue Power's item transport system is 'intelligent.' Unlike BuildCraft pipes, items in Pneumatic Tubes will never drop on the ground if a destination is full; they will simply bounce back or seek an alternative valid inventory.

Tube Types

• Pneumatic Tube: The standard transport pipe. Items move through these toward the nearest valid inventory.
• Restriction Tube: Acts as a long distance for the pathfinding algorithm, making items avoid this path unless no other options exist.
• Magtube: High-speed transport tubes that require power to operate.
• Color-Coded Tubes: Tubes can be painted with dyes. Items painted the same color will preferentially travel through matching tubes.

Transport Machines

• Transposer: Sucks a single item out of an inventory when it receives a redstone pulse.
• Filter: Similar to a Transposer, but can be configured to only pull specific items or stacks.
• Retriever: Pulls items from a remote inventory across a tube network toward itself.
• Sorting Machine: An advanced filter that can route different items to different colored paths based on a GUI configuration.
