How to throw stuff away

[Daemon_Eleuel]

Hello everyone.

It has been a while since I played tekkit so I started a new map, and new map means new questions.

I have the following problem and I seem to not be able to fix it.

I have about 40k cobblestone I will never use since I just get it from a igneous extruder, and as much as it is not "troublesome" since it just sits in the ME I just don't want to leave it there.

Getting it short, I want it thrown out. My problem is I can't seem to find a way to do so.

I can get it to a ME Network interface and thought of using an Ejector to have it throw things out but the Ejector requires a redstone signal to pull items.

Now, is rednet the only way to get that signal or am I missing something obvious?

Just asking as I'd like to avoid re-inventing the wheel.

P.S. Using pipes is a no-no as they crashed the server once and I really don't like having them laying around

[Daemon_Eleuel]

Mmm, I can't seem to edit for some reason.

Anyway, the ejector will output to a conveyor belt that throws everything into lava.

I use DSU for those things and you need 256000 of things to make singularity (8000 if cut it into smallest piece) and then set condenser to eliminate (use upgraded export bus and level emiter i you want some cobblestone)

[Daemon_Eleuel]

wait, the condenser has an "eliminate"?

[Kotja]

Yes, and you don't need any storage ell

[Daemon_Eleuel]

Ah, perfect. I had yet to check the condenser out, thanks :)

[Dewfire]

I always just created a pool of lava and dumped stuff there.

But yea, the condenser is another way now with 1.1.8

Void pipe + logistics pipes FTW!

[Daemon_Eleuel]

@Norman1346: Logistic pipes made the server crash once, I'm not giving them any more chances.

@Dewfire: Yeah, I was trying to get that way too, but I can't seem to automate the "push stuff out of ME" part, which is the reason I opened this post.

Ah sorry , you did say that.

I also have a Cactus named Earl in the corner of my lab. He eats everything and never causes lag.

[Daemon_Eleuel]

How do you push stuff out of the ME anyway?

Cactus sounds like a better idea than lava honestly.

[Neowulf]

Export bus+chest or interface and a buildcraft wooden transport pipe with engine (or gate) setup to constantly pump out.

[Daemon_Eleuel]

Ah, darn. I want a way that doesn't involve buildcraft pipes :/

[Norman1346]

Ok, then do ME export bus / chest / ejector / conveyor belts / lava or cactus.

[Daemon_Eleuel]

yep, but how do i trigger the ejector every X seconds?

I found out using the ME interface worked better since it counts as a chest, but how do I trigger the ejector? rednet?

Rednet would do it. I personally highly enjoy running red-stone so I never learned the red net controller..

I would build something like this. Horizontally, all on the same height level.

D <R D

D R> D T

D=red-stone dust

<R= left facing repeater set to slowest.

R>= right facing repeater set to slowest.

T= the spot where you put down a red-stone torch for just a second to get the red-stone loop going.

I use that set up for all my Liqi-crafters as they take a pulse too. I hide the signal pulse under ground and send it up to the machine on a glow-stone block, in order to keep the red-stone signal loop hidden, since red-stone signal can travel up on glow-stone even if there is a diagonally placed block that would normally disrupt the signal.

could just use the MFR deep storage unit to store the bazzillion stacks of cobblestone you may have. I mean Quite helpful to have a ton of it ready to go. I personally used my ME network to output cobblestone directly to it while making sure I had at least 1k in the network ( never know when you might need a ton for some crazy crafting project ).

[Daemon_Eleuel]

I do plan to keep 2 millions, the problem is I am starting to have more.

[theskull251]

I just dig a deep hole. Then run some piping. Use a diamond pipe to sort out the cobble and dirt shooting down the hole. Down the line is a sorting system that sorts out all the ore, coal, redstone, and other items. Slowly learning to automate things. So far have a ore processing factory. Got to the point I had to start converting iron ingots to iron blocks.

[Vivacity]

You can use a Redstone clock. No idea if it's part of Tekkit though

A DSU can store 2 billion.

[Daemon_Eleuel]

I fear that if I keep 2 billions I'll end up making a giant pony just to use it.

Anyway I set up stuff using a condenser, a level emitter, an ME export bus and a dark cable.

When the emitter detects too much of something it'll link the export that'll throw stuff in the condenser

And I said no pipes in my first post.
