Logistics Pipes

1. In a nutshell
Logistics Pipes is a logistics mod that can not only manage your storage systems but also provide flexible on-demand auto crafting with its piping network.

2. Pipes you will be working with
Here will be items that you will very likely be working with

2.1. Unrouted Transport Pipes
Unrouted transport pipes are the pipes that you will use to connect different part of your logistics pipes system. It is the cheapest kind of pipe which also means it comes with multiple limitations listed below:

It doesn't connect to any inventories

It doesn't route items (don't use it for junctions)

2.2. Basic Logistics Pipes
This pipe is kind of an upgrade to the unrouted transport pipes. It has routing functionalities in it (although it is a quite basic one) so you can use it for junctions safely. This pipe is also used for connecting the whole LP network to power (usually it is a logistics power junction)

2.3. Chassis
Chassis is a special kind of pipe: it functionality is defined by the modules it has. It has different tiers which affects how many modules the chassis can handle.

3.1. Logistics Power Junction
You need power to run any system. a LP network is no exception. the logistics power junction is the heart of the whole system as it provides power to the whole network.

4. Storage
Now, before you go beef on everything LP has to offer, you need a well-organized storage system in place as LP itself only does the managing and automation part. you need to do the storage first. But since you are really going down the rabbit hole called logistics pipes, I think you have that covered. In this section, we will talk about how the LP network handle and manages items.

4.1. Item sinks
well, an item sink "sinks" items into it. This mod has different kind of item sinks for you to sort items in different ways (item sinks need to place in a chassis to work)

4.1.1. Basic Item Sink
The basic item sink is... quite basic. It allows you to sort 9 different items in the inventory that a chassis with this item sink module connects to. It also introduces the "default route". What the default route does is that if an item needs to be sorted in the LP network but it has nowhere to go, it goes to the default route. The default route is a must-have because if an item has nowhere to go, it will get stuck in the pipe and eventually gets yeeted out of the network if no default route is in place: something that you definitely don't want to happen.
