If you've got a complicated setup of pipes and what not, you can easily make a graph detailing all the connections (and colors if need be). For example, for base, its relevant graph is: It is generated with GraphViz, using the PRETTY straight forward code: Code: digraph g { node [ fontname=Arial, fontsize=10, shape=box, style="filled" ]; edge [ fontname=Arial, fontsize=9 ]; Processing -> Storage CaveSpiderFarm -> Processing [label="Spider Eyes\nString"] SkeletonFarm -> DistA [label="Bones"] SkeletonFarm -> Processing [label="Arrows\nBones"] DistA -> Processing [label="Bones"] DistA -> DistA [label="Bonemeal"] DistA -> TreeFarm [label="Bonemeal"] DistA -> BonemealFarm [label="Bonemeal"] TreeFarm -> DistB [label="Logs"] TreeFarm -> Processing [label="Apples"] TreeFarm -> Power [label="Saplings"] DistB -> Processing [label="Logs"] DistB -> Charcoaler [label="Logs"] DistB -> CokeOven [label="Logs"] CokeOven -> Processing [label="Cresote Oil\nCharcoal"] Charcoaler -> Processing [label="Charcoal"] WheatFarm -> Processing [label="Wheat\nBread"] WheatFarm -> WheatFarm [label="Bread"] WheatFarm -> AnimalSmasher [label="Wheat"] SugarCaneFarm -> Processing [label="Sugar Cane"] CactiFarm -> Processing [label="Cacti"] AnimalSmasher -> Processing [label="Leather\nPork\nBeef"] BonemealFarm -> Processing [label="Seeds\nFlax Seeds\nRoses\nYellow Flowers\nIndigo Flowers"] Power->Power [label="Plant Clumps"] Storage->Silo [label="Charcoal\nCoal\nBread\nLogs\nRubber Wood\nBonemeal\nSpider Eyes\nString"] Storage->Discard [label="Cobblestone\nSeeds\nFlax Seeds\nDirt\nSand\nSigns\nPlanks"] Power->TreeFarm [color="red", label="EU", fontcolor="red"] Power->WheatFarm [color="red", label="EU", fontcolor="red"] CaveSpiderFarm [label="Cave Spider Farm", fillcolor="white", style="dashed"] SkeletonFarm [label="Skeleton Farm", fillcolor="white", style="dashed"] DistA [label="Distribution A", fillcolor="blue", fontcolor="white"] DistB [label="Distribution B", fillcolor="blue", fontcolor="white"] TreeFarm [label="Tree Farm", fillcolor="red"] Power [label="Power Station", fillcolor="orange"] Storage [label="Storage", fillcolor="cyan"] Processing [label="Processing", fillcolor="darkgreen", fontcolor="white"] WheatFarm [label="Wheat Farm", fillcolor="lightblue"] CokeOven [label="Coke Ovens", fillcolor="white"] Charcoaler [label="Charcoaler", fillcolor="black", fontcolor="white"] AnimalSmasher [label="Animal Smasher", fillcolor="gray"] BonemealFarm [label="Flower/Seed Farm", fillcolor="magenta"] SugarCaneFarm [label="Sugar Cane Farm", fillcolor="white", style="dashed"] CactiFarm [label="Cacti Farm", fillcolor="red"] Silo [label="Storage Silo", fillcolor="white", style="dashed"] Discard [label="Discard Items", fillcolor="pink", style="dashed,filled"] } Instead of installing GraphViz, you can use this online editor: http://graphviz-dev.appspot.com/ All the attributes that you can use (label, fillcolor, etc.) can be found here: http://www.graphviz.org/pub/scm/graphviz2/doc/info/attrs.html

This will definitely come in handy (in fact it's just what I need for my schoolwork).
So complicate graph in final (I checked on the website) but also a nice work, thanks for this amazing graph wich I think took you more than 2 hours to create !
Isn't there an "interactive interface" for it? I mean, you add the boxes and all the stuff and it goes automatically writing the code!
Well I search, and I have founded nice tools, but no one uses the same "language" as graphviz... I wanted to have a thing that I could show to you easily by sending the graphviz code! I guess that language is something like "dot language", I don't know exactly but anyway thanks for replying!
