Pros: The tubes and the pushing machines can be figured out reasonably well. Documentation is just about adequate. Watching the stuff float through the pipes is rather amusing as well.
Cons: It drops stuff from the tubes if the target is full. Funny I don't see any holes in the tube for the stuff to escape by... The mechanic is unpleasant, irritating and annoying. Did I mention it gets my goat and I don't like that it does that? Unlike the excellent Techage or Tubelib where it works as one would expect it to: Send an item only if there's room. The documentation should start right at the top telling people about this nasty habit and also the "fix". You need extra pipes to loop back and send the stuff back that didn't go in. It is weird.
The other major flaw is that activation requires either a punch or the presence of another mod called mesecons to "send a signal". Worse still the signal has to be repeated over and over to get it to act as one would expect automatic machinery to. The "fix" here is called a blinky plant that's gotta be pasted adjacent to BUT NEVER DIRECTLY ABOVE the machine to be activated.
