Kinesis Pipe
Kinesis Pipes (previously known as Conductive Pipes) are a type of BuildCraft pipe used to transport energy. Up to and including Minecraft 1.6 they could only transport Minecraft Joules, however as of Minecraft 1.7 BuildCraft switched to using the Redstone Flux API. The two energy systems are conceptually very similar, with the exception that 1 MJ is equal to 10 RF, and as such the functionality of Kinesis Pipes has remained similar despite the change.
Recipe
All Kinesis Pipes are crafted by combining a Transport Pipe with Redstone. The recipe for the Wooden Kinesis Pipe is shown below as an example.
Types
As of Minecraft 1.7 there are nine different Kinesis Pipes in BuildCraft. Below is a short overview of all pipe types and their special features.
Note that in previous versions of BuildCraft pipes would have energy loss depending on the length of the pipeline. Low-tier pipes (e. g. Cobblestone) would have higher energy loss than high-tier ones (e. g. Gold). This mechanic no longer exists in recent versions, energy is always transmitted lossless over any distance.
