Create Over Pressure FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start building pneumatic tubes?
Place pneumatic tubes between two inventories (like chests or machines) and attach a pneumatic extractor to one side to pull items into the network. The extractor will automatically begin moving items through connected tubes toward any available destination inventory.
Why aren't items moving through my tubes?
Check that you have a pneumatic extractor pulling items into the network, and that your destination inventory has space. If tubes appear inactive, verify there's a valid path between source and destination, and that no valves are blocking the route with redstone power.
How do kinetic pumps work?
Connect a kinetic pump to your Create rotational power network, then place it in your
pneumatic tube line to speed up item travel based on how fast the pump is spinning. Higher rotational speed pushes items faster through the connected tubes.

Yes, use a
tube junction and open its port menu to configure which connections accept or output items, or set redstone switching modes to route items conditionally based on redstone signals.

Yes, pneumatic extractors support Create item filters, so you can filter which items get pulled from a container and sent through your network.
What are glide rails and how do I use them?
Glide rails are overhead tracks you can place to create fast travel routes across your base; right-click a glide rail while holding a Wrench to slide along it quickly.
Can I use pneumatic tubes with Create packagers?
Yes, packagers can box items into sealed pneumatic capsules that travel through your tube network, allowing you to transport multiple stacked items at once.
How do flow sensors help prevent backups?
Flow sensors detect when pipes become clogged and emit redstone signals before your network backs up completely, letting you trigger alarms or reroute items automatically.
What casing types work with pneumatic tubes?
Pneumatic tubes accept all Create casing types and decorative brackets, so you can match your factory's aesthetic while building transport lines.
Do valves stop items from moving?
Yes, place a valve on a pipe section and power it with redstone to block item movement along that segment; remove the redstone signal to let items flow again.
