Basic Gate

The Basic Gate is an item added by BuildCraft to control and/or interact with all pipes of BuildCraft via one configurable function (see Usage). The higher tier of the Basic Gate is the Iron Gate with two configurable functions. Unlike all other gate types, the Basic Gate has no AND or OR version, but also has a Clock Timer, Redstone Fader, Light Sensor and Autarchic design.

Usage
The Basic Gate can be placed on all types and sides of the BuildCraft pipes with a right-click. By holding the crouch-key and right-clicking the gate can be removed without to destroy the pipe.

Note: The basic function is that the gate checks the precondition in the right slot, and, if this precondition is true, executes the option in the left slot. The bar between the left and right slot light up red when the precondition is currently True.

With a right-click the player can open the GUI, which has two slots (one left, one right). Both slots can be configurated by left-clicking in the slot. The available options are dependent on the pipe where the gate was placed. The possible options depends on the pipe where the gate was mounted and are listed in the tables below. Furthermore the Iron Gate has the ability to interact with Red Pipe Wire to transmit and/or receive redstone signals over the BuildCraft own wire system. An example with a Diamond AND Gate is shown in the picture, but it is the same except that the Iron Gate can only interact with the Red Pipe Wire. In the GUI the corresponding option is selectable if a pipe wire is connected to the Iron Gate.
