Item collection in Technic

[Lordgaspode]

I want to build a mob farm that kills the hostile mobs for me, I have a design in mind which kills the mobs and delivers the dropped items via a water channel to a collection point, I'm wondering if the Technic pack (ver 7.2.6) has any machines or such that would collect the items for me and dump them into chests.

Does anyone know if this is at all possible and if so how?

Many thanks for any help you guys can offer (I'm kinda a noob at Technic)

There are SEVERAL different ways you could do this:

Obsidian pipe - BuildCraft

Transposer with redstone pulse (or without if all items land directly on it) - Redpower

Alchemical Chest with Blackhole Band - Equivalent Exchange

Check the wiki, and watch some videos. That's the best way to get up to speed on how the mods work and work together.

IMO, obsidian pipe feeding into a teleport pipe back to base is probably best.

it's how I do my cactus and sugarcane farms.

yeah cheers, got it sorted now, used obsidian pipe attached to a pipeline which goes to my base, might have to look into that teleport pipe though, it sounds fun

if you're on technic, you can also use thaumcraft2 seals to suck items into a chest from a pretty impressive distance.
