One day I on my FTB server I was thinking of a way to have different buildings, but a way to communicate to each building from another with items and text. The machine would be on the wall on the ground, and would consist of a computer in the middle, a large chest beside it and a redstone lamp on the other side of the computer. See image for details.

REASON: This machine would allow you Give items to another building and Process the items in a processing plant and send them back.
GIVE: To give items you would place your items in the chest and type "GIVE {name of other building}" into the computer which will send the items though pipes to the other building placing then in the other buildings chest blinking their light.
PROCESS: To process items you would place the items you wish to process into the chest and type into the computer "{type of processing ext. macerate, smelt} ITEMS" blinking the light when done.

Since this is such a complicated build, it would be appreciated if you could try and figure out the complex coding required. Maybe even you would want to use this idea for your town :D, if you do figure it out, it would be nice if you posted it back here so many other people can try to use it as well :).

Thanks,

This is easier with FORTH, as it has to do with much Redstone and some rather silly filtering/sortron business.
EDIT: I, however have not learned how to use the Sortron FORTH Programming, however, I am nice at FORTH itself. If one day I have time, I might design this and send you a link.

You could probably pull this off with turtles, provided you intend to always send every item in the box. turtles can have some neat inventory interactions coded in.

Need some more specifics.

How far are these houses going to be from each other?

Mod pack your using?

Mods in said pack you would like to avoid?

I can already see a partial solution (Moving items around) using AE. But you may not like or want this. I would say just have a massive network hooked up to all of the houses. As for comunication, Just keep using computers.

Logistics Pipes can be interacted with via ComputerCraft. If you have that it could be quite easy.
