Describe your issue

When I try to pump liguids from the Seared Duct with Create Pipes, those Pipes won't connect to the smeltery.

Steps to reproduce

Place Duct on Smeltery, Filter for Blazing Blood,
pipes from create wont connect with or wothout redstone signal to the Duct.

Before someone says the Smertery is not formed - Seared Glas was used for it.

Does a faucet work? Based on the screenshot, the smeltery isn't formed, thus it doesn't connect.

Usually the cause of this is people not realizing you can't put a spaw er inside the smeltery, it's not an air block.

The duct seems to have no liquid inside it, e.g. had it been part of the smeltery, the inner square would have the same colour as the fluid. There is somethinf inside preventing your smeltery from "fully" forming imo.

then a faucet shouldn't work, I did test that.

Ultimately, there is nothing we can do if create pipes don't connect. We have it coded correctly as a fluid handler; it's just conditional on the smeltery being formed.

You either did not form it properly, or create is broken. Verify the former by making a second smeltery in creative. If it's still broken, report it to Create as it's their bug, not ours.

@Yijare A similiar problem occured for someone in the discord with thermal recently. Does this bug occur no matter the order of operations? The pipe might be remembering that there is no tank to pull fluid at at this location. So for example, try first placing the duct and setting the filter and only later placing the pipe.

I'm still convinced the issue is their duct isn't valid. The texture changes when its valid. F3+H will let you verify my assumption by checking the block state.

Going to close this for lack of response. If you think this is still an issue, demonstrate that the duct is in fact valid by looking at its block state using the F3 screen.
