How to obtain

Make this item using the crafting or processing recipes below.

Using it

Connect any face of a supported item machine, furnace, crate, controller or chest. Select a Wrench and right-click each machine-facing pipe end to cycle blue Input, red Output and No connection. Arrows show only while holding the wrench; No connection removes the arm, and clicking that side again reconnects it. A chest can supply items directly through an output end. Machines accept only compatible ingredients or fuel; rejected cargo stays at its source, and mixed chests can send other compatible stacks. Receivers have saved editable item priorities: machine/Furnace 50, controller 40, crate 30, Chest 20 by default. Highest compatible priorities receive first; ties round-robin. See Item-pipe routing. Fuel-burning machines accept fuel only at the back and ingredients through other input faces. Machines without fuel requirements also accept ordinary input at the back. Furnaces can burn rear-fed logs to turn side-fed logs into charcoal and output only finished products. Open the pipe normally to add independent signal or power fittings. See Pipes.

Opening its controls shows a matching illustration and name in the left panel. See Machine interfaces. Branched grids share compatible transfers equally within the same priority; full destinations give their share to those with room. See sharing a branched grid.
