Item detector tube and splitting

[Zyles]

Thanks for making this mod, it is by far one of my most favorite mods for MC!

I am missing a tube type however which would be useful, and it is a detector pipe that will emit redstone pulse when an item passes through.

Also I have an issue with splitting to destination 50% if the tubes not of same length. Using a routing tube if you set same item in two directions it will always send to the closest route.

If you compare this to diamond pipe of buildcraft behaviour, it splits 50% despite destination length if you have set it up to do so.

This causes a real problem in a serialized assembly line I have when the destination requires the same item at two locations. If it would split evenly depending on how many slots you put in the routing this would be easy and require less pipes and buffer chests.

Thanks!

Ooh I like the idea of the splitter tube I will look into it, and the detector one is already planned.

The best would be if the routing tube would split according to it's configuration.

If you put sticks in 3 slots that would be 33% split despite length to destination. BC diamond pipe works like this. No need to make yet another tube. It will just make the builds bigger. :) I tried to replicate what I did with BC which ended up with 2 blocks wide build but it ended up twice as big build because of this small feature missing! Crazy.
