Transportation is a module of ProjectRed. It adds pipes along with chips to the game, which allow for automated item routing.

An example of a good setup utilizingutilising covers to prevent looping looping:
Item Transport pipes only have the ability to take items that enter itthem and pass them along to another connected pipe. They will NOT connect to inventories at all. In a junction where there is more than 1one possible direction, item payloads will travel in a randomly selected direction.
All ProjectRed pipes will connect to each other.
Connections to other pipes can be obscured by other multipart blocksblocks, which is useful to prevent looping!
TheLogistic modPipes is a solid item transport and routing system with many neat tricks. You can use it to automate crafting and machines, keep certain items stocked, and remotely order items from your storage. It can handle both items as well asand fluids.
While Logistics Pipes may seem a lot more intricate and annoying to use compared to ProjectRed pipes, the advantages are endlesssignificant in— thethey likes of keepingkeep server performance healthy, optimizedoffer optimised and responsive item routingrouting, and most importantly:importantly they offerprovide much greater speed when doneset right.up correctly.
Logistics Pipes comes with many different types of pipes, modules, chassischassis, and blocksblocks. - thisThis link will take you to the wiki to further explore each part.
