Additional Pipes is now updated for MC1.12 and Buildcraft 1.8! It took many hours of hard work, and I had to dig into code that I had not touched since becoming the maintainer, but the mod is now fully compatible with the new (and largely rewritten) Buildcraft. The update is not finished yet, but this release should be stable enough for people to play around with and help test.

Changelog:

  • Updated entire mod for Minecraft 1.12/Buildcraft 8
    • Rewrote all Transport Pipes' item sorting logic
      • I think I fixed quite a few glitches with them too
      • The Distribution Pipe and the Priority Insertion Pipe can now split stacks of items in pipes into smaller pieces as needed to distribute or insert them properly
      • The Closed Pipe should no longer glitch out when items are inserted via the GUI
    • Reworked all GUIs, and made them properly localizable
  • Removed the deprecated Adv. Insertion Pipe, and the broken Logistics Teleport Pipe
  • Reformatted Teleport Pipe GUI to make it easier to use
  • Added French localization, translated by WingOfTech

Known Issues (please don't submit bug reports about these):

  • All GUIs are missing strings for localizations other than French and English (if you'd like to help translate, please let me know!)
  • Breaking a teleport pipe will cause all other pipes on that channel to glitch out until the world is reloaded (waiting on the issue BuildCraft/BuildCraft#3945)
    • Due to the same problem, teleport pipes will still send items to pipes in unloaded chunks, deleting them
  • The Power Teleport Pipe does not work (waiting on a new BuildCraft API)
  • The Item Teleport Pipe costs only .01 MJ to craft in the Assembly Table, when it should cost thousands
  • Switch Pipes do not connect to Redstone Dust (you can still power them with repeaters or levers)

Things Not Ported

  • The ability to show lasers to indicate the area covered by a Teleport Tether (BuildCraft removed the API to do this, and I will have to rewrite it in a different way)
  • The Obsidian Fluid Pipe (BuildCraft appears to have added something similar to it)
  • The ability for pipe wire signals to propagate across teleport pipes

Coming Soon

  • Some way of sending pipe wire signals across teleport pipes
  • In-game help, and support for BuildCraft's guide
  • Less bugs
  • Also, possibly:
    • Advancements?
    • The return of chunkloader lasers?
    • More pipes? Submit your ideas!

For documentation, until I get around to making a Minecraft Forum thread, please check the old archived forum thread.

The recipe for a Teleport Pipe is now 4x Diamond Chipset, 4x Quartz Chipset, and 8x Diamond Pipe in the Assembly Table

Requires Buildcraft 7.99.13, Minecraft 1.12.2, and Forge #2544+.
