Filters

Filters are used on some of the tubes to allow you to specify what types of payload they use for whatever function.

Filters do not consume items, they exist as ghost versions only.

Filter Categories
There are two categories of filter which are important to know as some tubes that accept filters cannot accept all categories of filter.

Specific

 * Specific filters map directly to a specific type of payload. For example items.

Broad

 * Broad filters may map to one or more types of payload. For example color.

Modifying filters
Some filters can be modified after they have been created. See the tables below for amounts for left + right click, and for ctrl + click behavior.
 * Left Click decrements the filter.
 * Shift + Left Click decrements the filter faster.
 * Right Click increments the filter.
 * Shift + Right Click increments the filter faster.
 * Middle Click resets the filter. In most tubes, filters reset back to blank. In the Compressor Tube filters reset back to the Any Filter.
 * Ctrl + Click can perform other actions.

NEI Integration
If you have NEI installed you can use the Drag N Drop functionality to set filters even while in recipe mode.
