Pipe content compressor

[erso]

I have not found anything yet and maybe it helps one or the other.

My problem was that in the tubes often only small quantities circulate instead of the maximum amount... which is a waste of energy if I want to cool the contents afterwards with a liquid cooler.
With this construction, the tube content is compressed to 10kg. Important, this only works if one element is transported in the pipe (for example, after a filter).

I do not know exactly why, but this build does not work anymore... .

I would be very interested in how you would solve such a problem.

'How it works' is arcane to me. It also fails at any input packet larger than 5kg.

This is how I dealt with it. That's element sensor there.

I use element sensor pipe like this to compress their contents. Note that I didn't invent this, but I remember I got this idea from this forum long ago.

If i am not mistaken klei changed the priorities of input and outputs some patches ago. Before they were lower priority than the main stream, now they are higher priority.

This is what might have broken your old design.
