Take a look at Luminators from IC2. I used those in Tekkit. Require some EU to work but were pretty reliable. Probably best when you have choke points like streets, etc. Likely not so good for policing a sweeping border, etc.

Relays would be a good choice there, I think. I've used them before like that, place equidistant to something in order to split the distribution, then the remaining tubes from there to the next destinations can be any length. And as you said, no need for timers and other junk.

Tube -> Filter -> Lava also works. I use that. On Tekkit I used the handy Incinerator block instead of lava, but FTB doesn't have the TubeStuff mod.

Sweet, didn't know that.

You could use a filter to pull full stacks from your chests, then send them to an in-line Sorting Machine, rather than putting the sorter right on the chest. As a bonus, in-line sorting machines don't need to be pulsed with redstone.

Maybe have a look at Regulators (forgive the TekkitWiki link, FTB Wiki is empty on this), specifically it's Output features. Also, if you want something more powerful (and don't want to learn Forth) you can use an Interactive Sorter from CC MiscPeripherals. I've done little with these but...

I tripped on the same issue when I was first using tubes. It seemed logical that uncolored items would only go to uncolored destinations, but as mentioned above they go anywhere. When you color a pipe red, for instance, what you're really doing is saying "do not send any colored items that are...

Regarding that image, you don't even need to redstone pulse sorting machines if you put them in-line like that. Just give them some blutricity and they will sort without the pulse. You only need to pulse them when used to extract items from an adjacent inventory.

Simple one. Download latest code from pastebin ID specified then runs it. Name this script "startup" and it will run when turtle/computer boots. Requires the "enableapi_http" option to be enabled in server's ComputerCraft config file. id = 'pastebin id here' if fs.exists( id ) fs.delete( id...

The method we use on our (Tekkit) server is one Mk 3 Charging Bench with a Filter next to it to pull empty crystals out. That's next to an Ender Chest+Filter to remove charged crystal and pipe to the bench. Redstone applied to charging bench to make it discharge and a timer to pulse Filters...
