Unbelievable Red Power Sorting Device Revealed!

Hello YouTube the sucky gamer here again for my second youtube tutorial on minecraft tekkit today we will be learning how to use pneumatic tubes to make an awesome awesome sorting machine I hope you stick around it’s gonna be very exciting so without further ado let’s go ahead and get into it right now

We have you can see my sorting machine that I’ve made I spent a long time learning how to do this and it was a lot of fun but I’m gonna save you the hassle and just show you so you can go without all the trial and error that that I had

To go through let me go ahead and just show you how this works I’ve got to deposit chests here they actually lead to the same area if we go ahead and put some stuff in this deposit chest you can see it’s gonna start sucking those items

Out and we’re gonna see them start going through the sorting machine automatically going where they need to go to their respective areas I do like this sorting system the pneumatic tubes a lot better than build craft I touched on this a little bit last week and this

Week I’ll really show you some of the awesome power that you can get through pneumatic tubes so we see them just sort of going where they need to go the gold is actually that’s I don’t know what that is I can’t tell from you some sort of materials going into where it needs

To go that’s a great thing about the sorting machine is I don’t have to worry about it so with let’s go ahead and head off to the sorting areas so I can show you what is up with pneumatic tubes alright folks first thing is first thing

First you do need a power system to power the sorting machine right here this sorting machine is the heart of the operation and you do need some power to power it obviously now red power – which is the mod that the pneumatic tubes come from uses different power than

Industrial craft and build craft so you will need a set of solar panels I find is the most efficient thing and a battery box now the important thing to keep in mind is that these solar panels are different than industrial craft solar panels you can industrialcraft solar panels they are a

Full block these red power to solar panels are just a flat block kinda like half steps so usually I found that for for solar panels I have two right here but I found four connected to a battery box now again this battery box is different than industrial craft so try

Not to get them get them confused see we have an industrial craft battery box and a red power – battery box so be sure to use the same kind I found that for solar panels connected together onto this battery box is more than enough power you’ll need for for quite a bit of

Sorting machines I think I’ve powered a brown 15 on one battery box and for solar panels and I’ve never had any issues at all I’m not quite sure how many sorting machines we can power on one but apparently it’s a lot so let’s go ahead and get cracking here I mean

These are actually wired out to my solar panels out on my roof so they they are out in the light these won’t obviously get any power because they’re deep inside the tunnels of my world so let’s go ahead and start out by putting our deposit chest here we are going to put

Some other chests here let me put these here just so I can test on them as I face all sorts of different directions and then we’ll put a random chest over here so let’s go ahead and hook up the sorting machine and you want to make sure with the sorting machine that the

Two eyes here are facing the the chest and I am using this fax this fax texturepack I’ll be sure to before the tutorial is over I will switch back to default so you can kind of see how everything looks with the default texture back so you want to go ahead and

Hook up the sorting machine to some power we’ll right-click on this we can see that it is now charging so let’s go ahead and hook up pneumatic tubes to these chest now the number one thing with sorting pipes with pneumatic tubes is it’s gonna look a little funky here we’re actually going

To do this a little bit differently that’ll work so what we’re gonna do here is we’re gonna go ahead and get some paint brushes these paint brushes is how you tell the pneumatic tubes what to go where so let’s go and paint that blue we’ll paint that green and that yellow

And we’ll go ahead and paint this one to white I’ll paint this one white as well to disconnect that so we can look here and we’ll have blue green and yellow and we have a white over here now this sorting machine is fantastic because the sorting machine will automatically tell

What items to go where and the reason I like these better than BuildCraft is because the sorting machine actually figures out the path before the items are sent down the pipe so let’s say if one of these chests get full the sorting system actually won’t send the item out

Because it knows the chests are full you can see right here I have this chest already almost filled with cobblestone so blue will go ahead and put comel stone in blue here we will put ah let’s go and put wood here we’ll put iron there and then that was blue so these

Colors down here is how you how you tell it where to go Green will have whichever would go down Green got to be careful with these colors some of these colors are really close together and you want to be sure you get the right color what was that that was yellow awesome now

This is this is a very important part right here we want to be sure to choose this option this option means just take whatever’s in the chest and send them down the pipe no specific order and this is important because this will also send unknown items down through white so not

Only will it sort these items through their respective colors they will send the items that are not sorted at all down through the white pipes so let’s go ahead let me show you what’s going on here let’s toss some junk into here and then I forgot one step we’ve got a

Hookup the timer you do need a redstone timer to get this baby rockin so let’s go ahead and put this timer on the lowest amount so we can get them going pretty quickly actually let’s do it a little higher so y’all can I can kind of

See uh what’s what’s going on and we’ll check that there and now we see green is going to the green pipe and we’ll stay here and just check this out for a while Green in the green pipe yellow now for the iron Gill is going in the yellow pipe

So exciting to watch isn’t it the most exciting time you’ve ever had on YouTube in your life most likely I wouldn’t doubt it and there we go through the blue pipe now we’re gonna see here this one’s gonna fill up and when it fills up I’ll show you by a pneumatic tubes are

Magical over BuildCraft pipes now here’s where the BuildCraft pipe would actually overflow but these actually get sent back they get sent back to the sorter they didn’t get tossed back in the chests are actually stored in the sorter and you can tell the sorter now has a

Red light here the red light is normally flashing that means it is jammed there’s something in the system that’s jammed and this is kind of the downside if one of the chests fills up this chest is filled up but we still have some other junk in here it’s gonna jam itself and

It’s gonna wait until you resolve the situation with the blue pipe before it sends things out now the BuildCraft pipes would have just thrown them all over the ground and if you would never have noticed it would have positive lag everywhere because they were just in hundreds and millions

In billions of items just laying around the ground so this is sending out the remainder of the cobblestone here in this chest and then we will see what happens when it gets to something that’s not sorted through the system and there it goes everything gets tossed into the overflow

Chest here and that’s basically how it works folks that’s it’s a very simple system it’s a lot of fun to do it’s very very efficient and I hope you enjoy trying to come up with some awesome ideas for very very clever sorting systems I’d love to see them that’s all

The tutorial for today folks check out my twitch channel at twitch TV slash – Luther you can see me creating these awesome things live you can always ask me questions there leave comments if you have any questions suggest future tutorials and I hope you enjoyed it guys

That is the sucky gamer logging off for this YouTube tutorial stay sucky gamers hey guys I know I said bye this is just a quick addendum because I said I would do it and I didn’t this is what everything looks like in the default texture pack

You can see that not a lot of stuff is different the solar panels look about the same and this looks about the same so you want the two eyes facing the chest and you want the little red dot facing where you want the items to go so

That is the most important part of course with all of the red power to stuff you can use a screwdriver to rotate things as you see fit that’s all for today folks thanks for watching again
