It seems that railcraft rails aren't storeable in the drawers. I tried the coulper track and the blocking track.

When I put either into the drawer, the item isn't removed from my inventory. The drawer shows the item, but the tooltip shows count 0. I can't increase the number by rightclicking and I can't remove them by leftclicking. By leftclicking on an other drawer in the same block the picture of the track is removed and the drawer is empty again. Naturally you don't get any item back because you didn't insert one in the first place.

Automation with LP is a bit derped in 1.2.0.

I have a setup where I fill the drawers with logistics supplier pipes from the back. All pipes are set to deliver 32 pieces of four different items each.

Alas, the pipes only send new items to the drawers when they are empty, but they don't refill to the required amount like they do with other inventories. The pipes don't even sparcle - They seem to think there are enough items stored, as soon as one item is in the drawer.

Well, I don't think, a screenshot would help you much there, because its just a tiny part of the whole LP system. The supplier pipes keep looking into the adjacent inventory and make sure there is a certain amount of items stored. To do that they request additional items from the system as soon as the number of items in the inventory falls below their threshold. On my case 'the system' is a battery of 128 barrels which provide the supplies in a room below the wall of drawers.

In 1.1.7 it didn't work at all as the supplier pipes did not see any content of the drawer and kept requesting items until the drawers were full. So it's a step to the better in 1.2.0.

I made some more tests and it seems, the supplier pipe sees the items in the drawer double. I set the pipe to hold 32 diamonds in the drawer and took them out one by one. As soon as they went down to 15 the pipe requested two more and therefore filled up to 17. When I take out all but three, the pipe requests 24 more filling up to 27 because it thinks, there are six in there. Maybe that helps.

I'd provide a world download but I have a self-composed modpack.
