Essentia Pipes

by rndmorris

Essentia Pipes is a Forge add-on for Thaumcraft 4 that adds a pipe system for moving essentia between blocks.

ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.7.10

What it does

Thaumcraft 4 requires its own tubes for essentia, and these often need convoluted setups with different suction types that conflict with each other. Essentia Pipes offers a simpler alternative: pipes connect to jars, buffers, reservoirs and other single-line blocks, and transfer happens regardless of the suction type of the blocks on either end.

The mod is published for Forge 1.7.10 only, with three pipe types: basic, thaumium and voidmetal. Pipes come grey by default and have seven additional color variants, and a color connects only to pipes of the same color. Transfer rates are configurable for each pipe type. Thaumcraft 4 must be installed alongside it, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the project is open source.

Key features

  1. Three pipe types

    Basic, thaumium and voidmetal pipes carry essentia, each with its own transfer rate.

  2. Color-matched connections

    Pipes of one color join only to pipes of the same color, keeping separate lines apart.

  3. Configurable transfer rates

    The rate of each pipe type can be set in the config file, for servers that want a different flow.

  4. Connects to containers

    Pipes link to jars, buffers, reservoirs and similar single-line blocks without extra adapters.

Questions

Does Essentia Pipes need Thaumcraft 4?

Yes. Thaumcraft 4 is required, and the pipe system is an add-on to it.

Does the server need Essentia Pipes?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Can pipes of different colors connect?

No. A pipe connects only to pipes of its own color, so grey pipes do not join colored ones.

What the author says

Essentia Pipes is an add-on to Thaumcraft 4 that adds a complimentary pipe system. Where normal essentia tubes require convoluted setups to avoid different types of suction from conflicting with each other, a single line of Essentia Pipes can connect to any number of jars, buffers, reservoirs, and more regardless of…
