Universal Importer

Transport behavior

Receives network resources into the attached destination inventory or tank. The exporter performs the transfer.

Direction

Network → attached destination

Filter

Install a Filter Upgrade: whitelist accepts listed resources; blacklist excludes them.

Empty item filter

An empty importer item list accepts all items. The source exporter filter still applies.

Routing modes

Destination order is selected on the source exporter: Nearest, Farthest or Round Robin.

Estimated item throughput

Exporter: one operation every 10 ticks, up to 64 items per operation; approximately 128 items/s with full stacks. Four Speed Upgrades raise the limit to five operations/cycle, up to 640 items/s.

Fluid and gas throughput

Exporter budget: 4,000 mB per cycle, multiplied by 1–5 with Speed Upgrades. Each resource uses its own transfer budget.

Resource configuration

Items, fluids and gases are configured separately in the endpoint menu.

Energy connection

Also connects the energy network through its enabled faces. Item, fluid and gas settings belong to their respective transfer systems.

Connections

Compatible pipe colors and enabled faces must connect the source and destinations. Configure faces with the Wrench; copy compatible settings with the Copy/Paste Tool.

• Nominal estimates assume 20 game ticks/s. Stack size, filters, available items, free space, sided I/O and loaded chunks can reduce actual throughput.
