Building Your First Crystal Conduit Network
Craft the Conduits
Crystal Conduit is the basic routing block for moving resources between Crossroads machines. Craft a batch in the Detailed Crafter, then place them in a line between your source block and your destination. Each conduit connects to adjacent conduits and to machine faces automatically.
Specialize the Line
Plain Crystal Conduit carries the general signal. When you need a specific behavior, swap in a variant:
- Crystal Redstone Conduit carries redstone signals.
- Crystal Thermal Conduit moves heat.
- Crystal Limiter Conduit caps throughput.
- Crystal Cooling Coil Conduit handles cooling loops.
- Crystal Resonating Filter only passes matching resources.
Place the specialized conduit at the junction where the behavior should apply, not at the ends.
Connect Machines
Run conduit from a Crystal Pump into a Crystal Storage Vessel, then onward to a Crystal Reaction Vessel. Use Crystal Fluid Injector where you need to push fluid into a machine. If a line stops working, check that every segment is a conduit and not a stray solid block — the network only bridges through conduit blocks. Keep spare conduits, filters, and limiters in a toolbelt so you can patch a line without walking back to base.
