热力物流学是物流管道（Logistics Pipes）的精神续作。这个mod添加了两个新型伺服器：请求器/合成器；便为热动力学添加了更加智能的合成工艺。

请求器是检索器的智能版本。如果他们请求的物品在物流网络中缺少，它们会请求合成器进行制作。

合成器需要依附其他机器；可以通过输入物品来合成其他物品；在合成器中，你可以指定输入那些物品输出哪些物品，如果某些机器的输入输出并不在同一个面则可以将多个合成器使用网络管理器进行连接。(顺带一提，在合成器中你可以直接点击jei的物品进行标记）

网络管理器是一个工具，它将告诉你哪些物品将进入管道，同时它也可以连接你的合成器。合成器的连接并不受距离/空间/维度的影响。

终端可以显示网络中所有的物品。并在请求器提供这些物品时请求这些物品。同时它还可以请求合成器合成物品。

介绍原文：

Thermal Logistics is the spiritual successor to Logistics Pipes! This mod adds smart crafting to Thermal Dynamics using just two new servos: the requester and the crafter. Requesters are smart the smart version of the retriever from Thermal Dynamics. If they need an item not available in the network, they can request a crafter to make it for them. Crafters are attached to machines that can make an item using inputs. In the crafter, you specify what items go in and what items go out. Crafters can be linked together if a machine outputs on a different side than where it takes its input.

The network manager is a tool that can tell you what items are going to a duct. It is also used to link crafters. Crafters can be linked from any distance, even transdimensionally. Finally, there is the terminal. The terminal shows what items can be requested from the network and can request those items when provided with a requester. It can also craft items using crafters.
