A hassle-free Essentia Tube alternative for Thaumcraft 4

Essentia Pipes

Do you like Thaumcraft, but find the essentia tube system frustrating? Do you find yourself wishing they behaved like pipes from every other mod? Have you tried Essentia Pipes?

Essentia Pipes is an add-on to Thaumcraft 4 that adds a complimentary pipe system. Where normal essentia tubes require convoluted setups to avoid different types of suction from conflicting with each other, a single line of Essentia Pipes can connect to any number of jars, buffers, reservoirs, and more regardless of what suction types those blocks are outputting.

Three jars of different essentia connected by essentia tubes. The essentia tubes are venting, indicating the tubes are not coopoerating. A large red X is superimposed over the scene. The same three jars of essentia are connected by essentia pipes. The pipes are not venting, indicating no conflict. A large green checkmark is superimposed over the scene.

Features

  • Three different flavors of Essentia Pipes: basic, thaumium, and voidmetal.
  • Each comes in default grey, but with seven additional color variants! Each color will connect only to itself or grey.
  • Configurable transfer rates for each type of Essentia Pipe.
Three horizontal lines of essentia pipes are featured, each three blocks long. The topmost line is a plain grey. The middlemost is also grey, with a thaumium purple frame. The bottommost line is again grey, but with a voidmetal dark purple frame. An array of essentia pipes, seven blocks long and three blocks high, are displayed. The bottommost line of essentia pipes are grey. The remaining pipes are different colors, arranged from left to right: yellow, red, blue, green, white, black, and purple. The colored pipes only connect to pipes of the same color and the grey pipes.
