How do you break a dimensionally upgraded barrel?

How do you break a dimensionally upgraded barrel without crashing thre server in the process?

Im planning on making a barrel-based TBM, with dimensional upgrades for the dirt and cobble, and while i dont care much for the barrels i would like the upgrades back...

Is there any way to recover the upgrades without spewing the 1K+ stacks everywhere? Would that many stacks crash my client?

Well you can break them normally to receive a barrel and the upgrade. I'm not sure what will happen with all the stacks, I guess they will spill out, so you could try it a server should be able to handle some stacks for a short while or just empty the barrel before. But the upgrade is not lost if you break the barrel.

A filter would pull a stack of cobble a time which you can just destroy (most lag free would be pumping them into a relay that feeds a voidpipe or just drop them with the filter on a obsidian-pipe in a voidpipe).

Blue, how do you connect a relay directly to a voidpipe?

Ive always had to use a backwards transposer>air block->obs pipe->void pipe.

Even thought of equipping my TBM with a lava source to instanly get rid of the items...

Massive amount of items dumped into lava can cause great deal of lag, just letting you know.

That is the reason why void pipes where added to the standard BC instead of staying in an addon.

It limits how many items it "vomits" all over to avoid exactly such things... so if you break the barrel it will only dump, *I think* 128 stacks on the ground and the rest will just be lost immediately

Upgraded barrels only drop 64 stacks, anything above that is lost.
This is reason why those barrels have "!!" around the numbers

This. Find a way to pump out all the extra stuff or lose it. Consider a router with a machine filter, speed boost and bandwidth upgrade.

I have a hard time believing that you have 64 stacks of something, and you still care about keeping any more. (Unless it's an unstackable item.)
