the issue you may be having if useing BC pipes is some chunks are loaded and the pipes will leek. if you use pnumatic pipes this wont happen.

I will take a look when i manage to get online

It's not my build, it's the one with all the quarries that you looked at last time that was leaking cobble all over the place. :)

It's possible that one half of the build is on a chunk that loads when me/Scotteh are moving about at our place and the other half doesn't load, that would explain it, when I looked the other day there was a lot of stuff floating about halfway down a pipe above it.

I'm starting to think maybe BC pipes transport should be banned. They seem to be the root of all these problems. They can be used well but there's other equally good options that don't have the hassle. Transport pipes can be replaced with pneumatic, conductive pipes aren't needed since you can stick engines next to whatever you want and most people are using IC power now and I'm not sure about waterproof pipes, but they're only really needed in automated systems and it seems to be those that are causing the problems.

Disagree. They only seem to be causing hassle with people who are using quarries. Yes, RP pipes offer different ways but this is no reason to remove BC pipes.

Its not just the items being used, its how they are used. The same thing could be applied to quarries also. It's more important about how they are used.
 
BC pipes are only an issue when used over long distances.
Tomorrow you will see what i have come up with regards rules for the pipes and quarries.
BC pipes are fine for small areas that are in the same chunk.

The locations that is having issues with the BC pipes is spread accross 12 chunks
I have already spoken with the owner regards the issue you may have noticed the quary hols have been getting filled in too.

There is no water proof verson of the pnumatic pipes so there wont be a total ban on the BC pipes just another set of restrictions regards the use of them.
Power pipes can still be used they dont cause the same issue as the transport pipes.

I will be making it a lot more clear tomorrow when i finsih up the videos and the rules for
them all. Once they are uploaded players will have 1 week to adjust to them.

While I agree, BC pipes cause problems in any system.

They work in a different way to RP pipes, when an item is put into a filter ready to be sent down an RP pipe, it works out the route it's going to go then, if there's no route for it to go, it sticks in the filter and the whole system shuts down.

In BC pipes, the wooden pipe just throws it out and when it gets to a junction, it works out which direction it'll go when it gets there.

This raises 2 issues. Firstly if you have lots of junctions in your pipes, BC pipes are constantly working out where to send stuff wheras RP pipes just work it out once per item.

It also means that if there's nowhere for the items to go (chests are full, chunk that would recieve the item hasn't loaded etc) then the filter sticks and RP pipes won't throw stuff all over the floor.

I completely agree that BC pipes can be used with great effect, I still have my pipes set up in my place from my quarry (though not connected to anything) and I never had any problems, but the point is that lots of people can't be trusted with them and forcing them to use RP pipes would eliminate the problems.
 
I'm going to have to leave it for now as I need to speak to Link about the 8 L4D2 server installs he has on there, each being 19GB in size...
