Description
Feature description.
First suggestion make it so the beam quarry doesn't dump items on the ground when the internal buffer fills up.
Feature functionality
The quarry would stop at it's current digging location and wait for room in the inventory. While just using the tubes is the best solution for item output making it just dump items into the world would be a lag hazard.
Does this feature involve mod compatability, if so, which mods
no
Feature description.
Second suggestion would be to add in the relay. Something a hopper or another mod's systems could dump items into which in turn get ejected into the tubes.
Feature functionality
Single block that accepts items and ejects them into the connected tubes.
An important reason to have this would be to not require redstone pulses to import items into the tubes. Sorting machine, item filter and transposer all need redstone pulses to import items. A few of these will be fine. Hundreds will be massive lag.
Does this feature involve mod compatability, if so, which mods
Vanilla: hoppers
Thermal expansion: ducts
integrated dynamics: tunnels
Something other mods will interact with like a chest inventory.
