Hello everybody,
Is there any good way to pull items out of the chest VERY FAST (should hold 4 quarries running full speed at least) without filters (without redpower 2)? Without electrical engines please.
Probably the fastest extract speed is using high end autarchic gates. They can pull out a lot of stuff VERY quickly if you set every trigger to energy pulse, and I've only ever seen Logistics Pipes go faster. The max speed of AE is sorta its weak point, although it's by no means "slow".
That said, CovertJaguar is right but AE will always be less on your client-side CPU assuming you disable the animations. 1/N * X > X * 0 for any N > 0. If you have devised some way by which your throughput will be like hundreds of stacks every few seconds (how? I dunno. Not impossible, but probably more laggy than moving it via pipe!) then you might see some gain from using AE.
