Wooden Pipe
The Wooden Pipe is used for extracting items from chests, furnaces and mod items. They require power directly from an engine to work, and cannot be powered with Conductive Pipes. They also are the most basic pipe, both in capabilities and rareness of items that are needed.

Wooden Pipes will not connect with each other, but can however connect to any other pipe available. The non-wooden pipes will then put items into containers they are connected to.

When the pipe is placed it will attach to the nearest pipe, chest or machine available, the thickest side of the pipe being the side it will extract from which can be changed using a Buildcraft Wrench.

Speed: ■When powered by a Redstone Engine, the wooden pipe extracts one item at a time. ■When powered by a Steam Engine, the wooden pipe extracts up to 52 items at a time. (However the engine will start to overheat) ■When powered by a Combustion Engine, the wooden pipe extracts up to 1 stack at a time - faster than a steam engine. Wooden pipes can be waterproofed or turned into Conductive Pipes.

Cobblestone Pipe
The Cobblestone Pipe is used for transporting items. Cobblestone Pipes will not connect to Stone Pipes.

Cobblestone Pipes can be waterproofed.

Items that have been accelerated by a powered Gold Pipe travel at a quicker speed for 20 meters.



Stone Pipe
Stone Pipes are used to transport items. Stone Pipes will not connect to Cobblestone Pipes, which makes them useful for making a compact item pipeline. They cannot be used, however, to extract items from machines.

However Wooden pipes can be used to extract items out of machines, chests or other extractable items known.

Stone Pipes can be waterproofed, and turned into Conductive Pipes.

Items in Stone Pipes that are boosted by a Gold Pipe will be boosted for 32 meters (blocks), twice as long as the boost in Cobblestone Pipes.

Iron Pipe
The Iron Pipe has up to five inputs and one output. It will send all incoming items in one direction. The direction can be changed by right-clicking the pipe with a Wrench. The output direction can also be changed by Redstone current. Every time it either loses or gains Redstone power, it will cycle to a different output. However, it will never output to a Wooden Pipe. This combination of properties allows for players to accurately control its output direction from afar, via Redstone wiring. The Iron Pipe will pop out blocks if they try to go through the barrier that makes them go the correct direction as of 2.0.

Iron Pipes will occasionally bug when they have more than 2 additional Pipes connected. This bug presents itself as the pipe visually showing it will allow items to pass through in a direction, but instead the items either bounce back the way they came or move off in one of the blocked directions.

Iron pipes can be waterproofed.



Gold Pipe
The Gold Pipe, when powered by redstone, will accelerate items that pass through it. The item will be boosted for 16 blocks, gradually slowing down until the 16th block, then return to normal speed. The boost will last twice as long in Stone Pipes. Note that this only decreases the time it takes for an item to reach its destination.

Gold Pipes can be waterproofed (with Pipe Waterproof ), and turned into Conductive Pipes (With Redstone Dust). Waterproofing a Gold Pipe will result in a Gold Waterproof Pipe.

Gold Pipes will not connect to other Gold Pipes.



Diamond Pipe
The Diamond Pipe sorts the items that pass through it into colored outputs, configurable by it's right-click accessible GUI. They can be connected with up to 6 pipes, each with a different colour. Up to 9 different items can be selected per output (with 1 input and 5 output leaving one colour empty). If an item has no match, it will be routed out of a color that has no filter, additionally if all colours are used the item will be rejected and removed from the pipe.

Diamond Pipes cannot be waterproofed.

Rarely Diamond Pipes experience a client side glitch causing items to appear leaving the Diamond Pipe in random directions without being sorted, like a normal Stone Pipe would act. The Items continue on the Client side until they reach a chest or similar container. However opening the chest reveals that all items are sorted correctly after all. The Glitch appears on all clients until the server is restarted, anyway it does no harm at all.

Obsidian Pipe
The Obsidian Pipe will automatically collect items that come into contact with it. Applying power from an engine to the pipe will increase the range of items it can suck to 1 block (distance has been increased to roughly 4 blocks for all engines other than Redstone Engines as of 2.0.1). Redstone Engines suck up one item per pump, while other engines suck multiple items up at a time. Without the engine, the items need to touch the pipe to be sucked in.

The Obsidian Pipe can also extract items out of the inventory of a minecart with a chest. A much less expensive way to make the effective distance of a Obsidian Pipe is to use many water source blocks to make the items flow towards the Obsidian Pipe.

Obsidian Pipes will not connect to other Obsidian Pipes.

Obsidian Pipes can not be waterproofed.
