Hello everyone,

since Generikb is making an huge alveary modell on the mindcrack feed the beast server and someone mentioned adding a huge pipe system as well, i tought about moving items in these pipes.
I did some math about the size of these pipes in the skale of 9:16 generikb is using and came up with

MegaPipe

Click the picture to watch a short overview video what it does!


How to set up

For every screen you need one advanced computer and a modem.
Place the computer with the back to the screen, the modem on top and paste in the correct code down below.
Then start the program with

startup

Wooden pipe:
3x3 screen

pastebin get ptujxT9T startup

Wooden pipe segment:
2x3 screen

pastebin get sxeL3Bdi startup

Alveary pipe:
3x3 screen

pastebin get ZpANUDw6 startup

These following screens are optional!

Stone pipe segment:
2x3 screen

pastebin get 1g2KWr2J startup

Stone pipe:
3x3 screen

pastebin get CbcJkU45 startup

Customization

After you downloaded the programs you can open them up with

edit startup

At the third line you fine a variable called "speed" with a number behind the equals sign.
You can set it to:
0.1 --- Very fast
0.25 --- Fast
0.5 --- Standard
1 --- Slow
2 --- Very Slow

Hit Ctrg, hit Enter, hit Ctrg again and your right arrowkey and hit Enter again.
Now start the program up.



That's it! Right now there is just this constellation available, but if you want to have other directions or features, let me know about it.
Hope you enjoy

Wow... This is nothing short of amazing! One cool feature would be if it actually transported items with pipes, and showed the proper items with beealyzer turtles.

Hehe, you could hook up a interactive sorter and let it get the id of the item.
The player would have to give it a name and image and then it would work.
However, it just can display a single item right now at one screen at once.
