Buildcraft Pipes

Craft Buildcraft Pipes according to the data table below. From Transport Pipes you can craft Fluid or Kinesis Pipes.

Kinesis Pipe

Redstone Crafting Arrow Wooden Kinesis Pipe
Transport Pipe

Combine any pipe with Redstone to create a Kinesis Pipe. Kinesis pipes are used to transfer energy from your Engines to the Buildcraft Machines. All Kinesis Pipes have a maximum capacity. If you find you are producing too much energy for your pipes, you must swap out that pipe with one that has a higher capacity.

Pipe Sealant

Crafting Arrow Pipe Sealant
Cactus Green

Used to create Fluid Pipes. You can enable an alternate recipe in Buildcraft's config file that can also make Pipe Sealant using Slimeballs.

Fluid Pipe

Pipe Sealant Crafting Arrow Wooden Fluid Pipe
Transport Pipe

Combine any pipe with Pipe Sealant to make Fluid Pipes. Fluid pipes are used to transport liquids. Each pipe has a maximum capacity.
