Thaumic Pipe Can't Connect to Node Fabricator #119

Closed Alaberti closed 9 years ago

Alaberti commented 9 years ago

So for today's enhancement. I was trying to hook up Thaumic Pipes (by Jezza) to the node fabricator and found they didn't connect at all. I hadn't tried other things, but the theory would probably work out the same. Is this something that needs special interaction from your end, or their end? Thanks as always!

Thaumic Pipes plays games with the Essentia Transport API.

This is not a bad thing, but it means that it does not play well with things that do not follow the API 100%

Technomancys blocks do not follow the API 100%, sort of on purpose, so it does not come as a surprise that TP doesn't play well with them.

I'll leave the issue open, but I don't know that it will get fixed.

As a side note, I have always had issues with essentia getting "lost" when using TP. Perhaps they have fixed it, but I use Essentia coils for that stuff now.

Fair enough - TP has been useful when I don't have a very, ah, open space to work with.

OK, just looked at this a bit more and it looks like TP may have changed over to requiring mods to add support for any "non-standard" items.

I think you will find that TP pipes will connect to the Quantum Jar without any issues, but not much else. I will see if there is anything that can be done about this.

Note: The Node Fabricator and Essentia Fusor still can not connect the Thaumic Pipes. This is due to Thaumic Pipes not having support for a block that both input and outputs Essentia without having specific sides for this purpose.
