item pipes network stuck at 16 moved items even though no items are being moved

[Wwhiplashh]

as per title, i have checked every inventory connected to the network and nothing is getting moved. Still ''Network Items Moved'' says 16 all the time.

Tried disconnecting and reconnecting Tried closing a opening the game

don't know what to do

edit

so as you can see in the image, the item pipe is connected to an ''inventory connector''. the inventory connector connects my ''simple storage'' setup to my barebones early game auto crafting thing, sending items and receiving products.

The issue is that if you set the item pipe to i/o it just keeps moving items around within itself instead of bein just being open to either send or recive items. This beheaviour just chokes up the item buffer freezing inputs and outputs as the 16 ''slots'' are being taken up by the ''i/o pipe'' exchanging random items with itself over and over again.

Don't know how to fix this or even if it is fixable. halp.

decrease the insert priority on the i/o pipe

This might be a case of this "intended behavior", but I can't say myself since I did not use I/O on a large inventory such as the inventory connector.

decrease the insert priority on the i/o pipe

this way the network will not suck in items from furnaces and stuff

The insert priority has to be lower than the extract priority. The way I would do it is have the priority on the drawer access point be -10 on insert and 0 on extract. This means that any machines you attach to that pipe network will be prioritized first in terms of I/O, and that you don't need to adjust priorities on every single machine.
