Void pipeing items on a RP network

[slay_mithos]

I would ask that you try it with at least 2 or 3 hundreds of stacks at the same time, before saying that it doesn't cause any lag.
But if it was true, and not just a "I don't see it, so it should not be, right?", then that means that we don't need that void pipe system for it, and that is great.

How exactly do you get 2 or 3 hundred stacks of anything into a tube "at the same time"?

Here is my incinerator setup:

Whenever there are any items in the chest, the gate starts the timer on a 1-tick interval to use the filter to throw everything in lava. Anywhere I need a RP- or GT-compatible "void pipe", I just use the same enderchest. The machine can empty a full chest in seconds. I connected it to a clearing filler once (many times faster than a quarry), and it had no problems keeping up.

What about cactus instead of lava?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I avoid lava and fire inside my structures, just in case.

If you're in a SP world it's no big deal but you want to avoid creating entities because a lot of them put a strain on the server. That's why voidpiping and RP dropping into lava works because both just delete the item without creating an entity in the world.

lava will set fire to burnable blocks 4(iirc) blocks away, just design your sorting system with that in mind. I don't need to worry, wood isn't something I ever build with generally
