I was testing out if the bug with the pipes was working and I wanted to continue my work on the machine I was playing with and when I saw that going from horizontal to vertical would not send the signal I was questioning it. I tested it rn and it is a problem I see now, vertical that stays is ok, horizontal that stays is ok, the conversion is where it doesn't work like it needs to.

This has actually never worked. It's a limitation in the Tiny Redstone mod. I just opened an issue for it there: dannydjdk/Tiny-Redstone#114

A workaround is just to not use panels. The pipes (and other components) can be placed in world and will interact properly with components on horizontally placed panels

Hmmm, I will test that out. Keep this open and I will go play around with it
