Some things I would like to inqure about related to sorting: (NOTE I am playing the 1.6.4 Direwolf20 Pack)
1) What options do I currently have for sorting systems? (I used to go via redpower, I might do logistics pipes but I dont like how they require power)
2) Can itemducts be configured to extract only specific items?
3) Right-clicking on itemduct/fluiduct/conduit says "you must install a pneumatic servo," how exactly do I do that?
4) Could you make a fully functional and somewhat advanced sorting system using only itemducts w/ servos?
5) Not too relevant to this thread, but there are chickens falling from the sky with pig balloons and exploding... wut?
NEW 6) Quick thing, someone somewhere mentioned the ability to get ender pearls easier from Gany's Mods. Anyone know what this is about? (+link?)
7) Hurm hurm.. So this monster pack, 'tis it like a combo of all other packs?
Thanks for help :)

ME System = Applied Energistics

Remote Orderer = Logistics Pipes

I suggest watching spotlights on both of them because they're non-trivial to explain their usages.

Because it project red and it not updated to the latest one that add some experimental piping(i think). Project red is not redpower, it a replacement and not everything is there

Ah ok, makes sense. Im considering Applied Energistics, but have never used it before, and was wondering if it is a difficult mod to understand or not?

It's definitely a ways more difficult to understand than Itemducts or Factorization Routers, but if you take the time to watch a few Mod Spotlights (cough DW20 cough) you can get the general idea.

As for your questions:

1+4. My sorting system is a hybridization of Itemducts and Factorization barrels. I have an entire room full of barrels with itemducts going to the top of each, and then an overflow chest to catch anything I don't have a barrel for yet. (for some things, I use chests with "servo'd" ducts on Whitelist to store certain stuff in the chests.) The same pipe system goes down into my basement to all of my TE3 machines where most if not all ores are handled and then sent back up the same pipes as ingots to go into the barrels.

4. In the future when I need to set up inventories of certain items (Thaumcraft room, forestry room, etc) - I can add servos to the itemducts on the bottom of a specific barrel, and have that barrel pump items out to the right room. (You wrench the duct above the barrel making it "Dense" - that way all Fire Shards for example will go to the thaumcraft room first, and then the barrel second if the thaumcraft room is full. Then whenever some is taken out of the thaumcraft room, the barrel (via the bottom duct with servo) will replenish the room)

Only downside to this method is you need a servo for every barrel that you want to pump OUT of. (No servos needed to input to a barrel since they already can only hold 1 thing)

5. The Portal Gun mod is celebrating Christmas in a very Aperture Science fashion.

Thank you master DOGE! After a quick read, it seems like a cross between Logistics Pipes and Pneumatic Tubes :D
EDIT: Even better, NO id conflicts with the Direwolf20 pack! Such win! Much happiness! So wow!

6 = there is an easy way to craft Enderpearls in Gany's End, but it requires 8 End Flowers which can only be found in the End. So, not that easy.

Ah... Yea not too useful.... Know of any mods that allow somewhat easier collection (crafting?) of enderpearls? Endermen are really tough to find...

I'll throw in my two bits for applied energistics. I avoided it at first ("seems too techy, too high-end, and too expensive and confusing!"), but then realized that most of my objections were inaccurate and it is currently my favorite mod. At this point, I think AE is the only mod I'd count as a *must* for the mod packs I play in the future. It's definitely worth the time taken to figure it out, and also worth the time spen to figure out the more esoteric uses of auto-crafting and storage strategies.
