Control Liquid Amounts / Flows With BuildCraft Gates (BC 6 & 7 Tutorial)
In this video I try out two methods to control the amount of fuel in my Combustion Engines. Also demonstrating the control system for the Engines based on Oil and Fuel supply.
I wanted to have exactly 25% in the engines, and my two methods to achieve this are:
- Controlling pipes to open/close based on the condition
- Using the Valve pipe to control flow direction
I have never used the Iron pipe before in this way, so I'm not fully sure if that is the perfect setup in the gate, but it seems to work fine!
This is not really a true tutorial in the tutorial series, but it is placed in the Buildcraft Tutorial playlist anyway. You can find it here:
