What items need large/small conveyors?

[mcsproot]

I'm assuming that small items like ore/ingots can go via small conveyors, but larger, manufactured items such as the various components or tools need large conveyors?

Aye, that's pretty much correct. A few of the manufactured items will fit through the small tube (most notably gatling gun ammunition), but most of the manufactured items require large tubes.

I.e. If you're building a mining ship or if you're feeding ammo to your gatling guns then you'll use the small conveyor tubes, for pretty much everything else you'll be using the large conveyor parts.

Also (because I've seen a lot of people go wrong with this) small tubes can only connect to the small conveyor ports on objects, and the large tubes can only connect to the large ports.
(seen a lot of people try to plug small tubes into big ports and wonder why it doesn't work.)

Oh I at least knew about tube-port having to line up. I was just wondering what items required what tube size. Thanks for the reply.

All ammo apart from gat gun = large.

Metal grids = large

Things like Computer/motors will go through a small.

Don't know if it's changed but i've had steel plate go through a small, in the past.

However wierdly you as a person can remove anything from a small port... no matter the size lol.

Large tubes need large tubes.
