Transport behavior
Moves items from its input slots into the linked digital storage network.
- Filter
- Imports the contents of its 18 input slots. External automation can control which items enter the buffer.
- Estimated speed
- Every 10 ticks: one stack operation, increased to nine with eight Speed Upgrades. At 20 ticks/s: about 2–18 stack operations/s, subject to available items and capacity.
- Routing
- Requires a linked, online storage network. Uses slot order rather than Nearest, Farthest or Round Robin.
- Nominal estimates assume 20 game ticks/s. Stack size, filters, available items, free space, sided I/O and loaded chunks can reduce actual throughput.
