Place a Pipe Pressurizer on the pipe network to increase the distance items can travel. Without enough pressurization, items may stop moving.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Attach an Extraction Module to a pipe connected to the chest. Higher-tier modules like Medium or High Extraction Module extract more items per operation.

Use a Retrieval Module on the pipe facing the target inventory. Higher-tier Retrieval Modules move more items per tick.

Accepted Answer

Apply a Filter Modifier to a module to restrict it to specific items. Use Data Filter Modifier, Mod Filter Modifier, or Tag Filter Modifier for different filter types.

Question 8

How do I increase a module's filter slots?

Accepted Answer

Apply a Filter Increase Modifier to the module to add more filter slots. Higher-tier filter modules like High Filter Module also provide more slots.

Question 9

How do I make pipes move items faster?

Accepted Answer

Attach a Speed Increase Modifier to a module to raise its transfer rate. Higher-tier modules such as High Speed Increase Module give larger speed boosts.

Question 10

How do I set which pipe network gets items first?

Accepted Answer

Use Priority Modules on the destination pipes. Higher Priority Modules make that destination receive items before lower-priority ones.

Question 11

How do I sort items randomly or in a round-robin?

Accepted Answer

Apply a Random Sorting Modifier or Round Robin Sorting Modifier to a module. Random Sorting distributes items randomly, while Round Robin cycles through destinations evenly.

Question 12

How do I limit how many items are in a stack sent through pipes?

Accepted Answer

Apply a Stack Limiter Module to the pipe or module to cap the stack size transferred. This prevents large stacks from being sent at once.

Question 13

Accepted Answer

Apply a Redstone Module to the pipe or module to enable redstone control. The module will then activate or deactivate based on the redstone signal.
