Hello, I have a quarry setup and I have been introduced to a problem that I cannot figure out. I am using pneumatic tubes to sort my items into barrels, but I am getting way way way way too much cobblestone. I already have plenty of scrap for my matter fabricator, and I cannot find out how to sort the cobblestone out so I can void pipe it. I dont want to use buildcraft pipes straight from my ender chest, then diamond pipe it because items are coming in too fast for them. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

A transposer into a lava block will do the same thing as a void pipe, in that the transposer deletes the item instead of actually outputting it into the lava block, to save on lag/etc. Good luck!
Put a filter with a single piece of cobblestone inside of it branching off of your main RP2 tube line. It does not need to be powered, as filters will allow things to pass through passively (without a redstone current).
You might want to consider a diamond pipe + void pipe right at the quarry. Very straigtforward and less chance of your system getting clogged up (and spewing entities everywhere). We more or less make it mandatory on our server.
Assuming the system is similar to as follows:
Quarry -> Tube -> Filter that branches off from the tube (not inline) with one piece of cobblestone in the inventory -> Lava block
There should be no chance of backing up the system at all as the filter will accept all cobblestone without fail (having tested a similar system, except instead of lava, I used barrels).
Also, RP2 tubes don't "spew", but instead get clogged. There are pros and cons to both systems, as I'm sure the zealots of both sides will expound if they get wind of this.
Each mods has it's merits. Unfortunately RP2 seems to be a bit 'dead in the water' again while there are some pretty major issues left to fix.
Quarry-> tube doesn't work. It would be Quarry -> Relay -> Tube.
Transposer will not work, put a filter down with the small spot facing a sourceblock of lava. Inside the filter put cobble/dirt/gravel/anything else you really don't want.

But I think the OP is doing this...
Quarry >> Enderchest >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Enderchest >> Tube system
And wasn't Hydra suggesting this?
Quarry >> Diamond Pipe
_____ (split 1) > Void Pipe
_____ (split 2) > Enderchest >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Enderchest >> Tubes
Which works super duper.
In which case the first "tube" on my system is the "ender chest -> ender chest -> tube".
Indeed, it does work very well, but it is more expensive, and will do the exact same thing as my suggestion, without needing to move a diamond pipe and void pipe, as well as set up a diamond pipe every time you move your quarry.
Well, what if the Sorting System gets clogged? Then the Diamond Pipe would start throwing up.
Yeah man, I used to thinks so as well, told everyone it's like that too.
Turns out that's false, my coin of fortune told me so.
Myth busted I guess.
Works well enough though. So you might as well use that. I'm a bit peeved about the falseness of the info though. I wish greg or xy added a void block.
Yeah man, I build a trashbin next to my wither spawners for stuff I wanted to get rid off without the items going back thanks to the coin. Relay -> lava. I kept tossing stuff in, but my inventory was as full as ever. Most annoying revelation ever.
Speaking of the coin of fortune, it is seriously good, slightly op even, you can mine stuff from the bottom of a lava lake without problems.
