Help on pipes
-
I saw a save on the front page a while back (some kind of organism machine robot) that ran two pipes in such a way that they intersected but both pipes kept their own materials. How would I do this? I forgot what save it was.

If by intersected you mean in a cross then one pipe is complete and the other has portals at the end and start. An illusion basically. If by intersected you mean joined in parralel then one pipe is offset slightly so that the colors (pipe transfers from one color to another specific color e.g. Red -> Blue -> Green -> Red) don't transmit.
-
Just for reference, here's a save that has a plethora of such "real" pipe intersections and one that I'm, coincidentally, very fond of.
1869156View Save 1869156Pipe intersection magic is one of the things in TPT that I know exist and have a perfectly logical background but haven't had the time or the need to learn yet.

I meant a cross, but I checked and it definitely had PIPE pixels crossing each other and in contact with each other.
Also, in this pattern: (for pipes 1 and 2)
++2+
112+
+211
+2++
Thanks!

It is single pixel pipe: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Using_automatic_PIPE_tracks.html
In this mode, pipe always transfers to the next pipe without any delay, and it knows which pipe comes next (one of 8 directions)
You can see at each intersection there is an extra pixel to the side. That's because to make them cross properly, the pipe goes diagonal a bit. -
