Item Merger Pipe¶

The Item Merger Pipe is a Tier 1 mechanical pipe that takes items from any input direction and routes them all to a single configured output direction. It's essential for controlled directional routing.

Recipe¶

8

Yields: 8× Item Merger Pipe

Behavior¶

Item Merger Pipes converge all inputs to a single output. Items can enter from any direction except the output face, and all items exit in the configured output direction.

Key features: - All inputs merge to single output - Output direction configurable with Wrench - Items cannot enter through output face - Output face marked with opaque connector - Guaranteed directional routing (no randomness)

Configuration¶

Use a Wrench to change the output direction:

Right-click the pipe with a wrench
Output direction cycles through available faces
Output face indicated by opaque connector
Items will only exit through this face

Tips¶

Perfect for collecting from multiple Item Extractor Pipes
Guarantees items go in one direction (unlike random routing)
Combine with Copper Transport Pipes for backbone
Cannot accept items from output direction - plan accordingly
Use multiple mergers to build tree structures

Common Patterns¶

Multi-extractor collection:

[Extractor A] ↘
[Extractor B] → [Item Merger] → [Copper Pipe] → [Destination]
[Extractor C] ↗

Tree merger structure:

[Sources A-C] → [Merger 1] ↘
                            [Merger 3] → [Main line]
[Sources D-F] → [Merger 2] ↗

Controlled junction:

[Branch A] ↘
           [Item Merger] → [Guaranteed direction]
[Branch B] ↗
