Filtered Buffer

The Filtered Buffer is a block from BuildCraft that can stock items supplied by pipes. Basically, it counts items and tell a Gate about that.

Example / How to use it
We first need to connect pipes to the Filtered Buffer. We 're going to use Golden_Transport_Pipe for the INPUT and Quartz_Transport_Pipe for the OUTPUT. Each Golden_Transport_Pipe will drag a different type of item.

For this example we're gonna use Grass, Diamond, [Stone Gear]] and Egg.



Then we add Gates on each INPUT pipe.



Right-Click on the Filtered Buffer to open the GUI. It shoulds looks like this :



Now we add our items that are provided by the INPUT pipes in the upper row. Notice that your item is kept when you put it in a case.



The lower slots that corresponds to the items we add in the block should now be available. You can add Stacks of the corresponding item if you want.



Then it's pretty much done ! We now need to edit the Gates behavior. Just Right-Click on one of them :



You should now have the same behaviors as a container ! You can use that to count items and maybe request more items from the 'INPUT pipes ;D
