More than one pipe on the chest is probably your best bet at this point.What is a good method for putting items into pipes? I am still early to mid game. I have redstone, and almost to diamonds.. Still working on the charcoal. For my small little automated farm, I am using a drum of the wild and a hopperhock, but my wooden engines can't keep up with the growth rate of the farm. I have even attached two engines to the chest, and I still end up with more in the chest than I can extract and pipe to my sorting system.
