Description

Overflow tubes are teleporting tubes from Pipeworks mod, used to donate materials you don't need. Everyone can get some for their projects if they configure tubes with the proper names and allow these to receive materials.

The format for those tubes is: mod.item_name, for example, default.cobble.

Hint: Copy from crafting guide and change ':' to '.'

Public Overflow Storage (POS) locations

Fruitland POS

There is a place maintained by SwissalpS for buffering public overflow contents.

The main goal is to have a receiver active to avoid your sender tubes from breaking.

Overflow of the overflow goes to channel '/dev/null'.

Most items are cached in unlocked chests for public access. Cobble is not available to public from chests.

Location:

Under Fruitland. Between Ruggila's Public Workshop and the 'Public Mine' of Fruitland.

There are a lot of monsters spawning there, no Dungeon Masters though. There are floors dedicated to hunters and a lift to surface, Public Greenhouse and to Public Mine below -2k.

POS is linked to the 'Free Factories' network by korlen.

Lava Falls POS

At Lava Falls accessible through Spawn -> Tutorials -> Digilines -> downstairs.

HiFi City POS

Ecoport at HiFi city. Accessible from Spawn -> Earth -> HiFi city.

List of Channels

POS currently supports these channels:


  • shared;ecoport.hifi
  • /dev/null
  • bonemeal.bone
  • bonemeal.mulch
  • charcoal.charcoal_lump
  • default.cobble
  • default.desert_cobble
  • default.desert_sandstone
  • default.desert_stone
  • default.dirt
  • default.gravel
  • default.ice
  • default.sand
  • default.stick
  • default.stone
  • moreblocks.cobble_compressed
  • moreblocks.desert_cobble_compressed
  • farming.caramel
  • trash

How to correctly use public teleport tube receivers

When you decide to tap in to a public channel it is important to keep in mind that your storage will overflow at some point. In order to allow others to receive what doesn't fit into your storage, you need to set up a way for the items to return to the distribution.
Just putting a teleport-tube on top of a chest will result in the items dropping. Adding another tube between teleport tube and inventory allows overflow to return to teleport tube when inventory is full.

Correct TP-tube usage

Public Overflow Generators (POG)

Some of the items supported by POS may not be coming in due to players no longer being online.

So SwissalpS has started linking locations that produce overflow from POS. This allows players to go activate a generator and then go back to POS to get the items.

To qualify as a POG your machine must:

  • be in a protected area.
  • not generate lag. Area is dedicated to this one generator
  • tuned to not be excessive. The goal is to make some available not to keep players from creating their own.
  • look ok and preferably offer some education. (don't hide functions)
  • area is at least as safe as spawn for noobs

If you want your generator to be linked to POS, contact SwissalpS.

Current list of POGs:

  • Sand generator
  • Stone generator
  • Sticks to Torches converter
