Setting Up Basic Pneumatic Item Transport

Pneumatic tubes offer a streamlined way to move items between containers, machines, and storage blocks across your factory.

Laying the Pipeline

1. Place pneumatic tubes directly between the inventories you want to link.

2. Where your pipeline changes direction, route curved tube sections around corners rather than using sharp right-angle turns, keeping your pipeline smooth.

3. If you want the pipeline to match your factory's aesthetics, apply Create casing types or decorative brackets directly onto the tubes.

Extracting and Filtering Items

1. Attach a pneumatic extractor directly to the chest, machine, or storage block you wish to interact with.

2. Configure the extractor to either pull items out of the container or insert incoming items into the inventory.

3. Apply Create item filters to the extractor to control precisely which items are allowed through the connection.

4. Connect a redstone signal to the extractor if you need to pause or toggle extraction dynamically.

The pneumatic extractor will now move your filtered items through the sealed tube network reliably.
