I have a quarry some distance from my house, and i use piping to pipe it back, i have a chunk loader at the quarry so that all the pumps for lava and such will work, i have a chunk loader at my house were the items get sorted, do i need a chunk loader following the whole pipe line back? or does it stay loaded by itself?

Yep, you need Chunk Loaders. Or World Anchors. Or Spot Loaders. Or Quarries (they keep chunks loaded.) Or ...

Well yeah my quarry is loaded, and the place that pumps out the items is loaded, but the piping back to my base isn't loaded, i'd rather use the piping as i already ran it so i could use the tesseract for something else. So what happens when no one is in-game and items reach a unloaded chunk that has piping in it? Does it come out of the tube? or just disappear?

I think it "disappears" (just passes out of the loaded chunks) until the chunk gets re-loaded?
