Overflow tubes

Description

Overflow tubes are teleporting tubes from Pipeworks mod, used to donate materials you don't need. Everyone can get some for their projects if they configure tubes with a proper names and allow these to receive materials.

The format for those tubes is: mod.item_name, for example, default.cobble.

Public Overflow Storage (POS)

There is a place maintained by SwissalpS for buffering public overflow contents.

The main goal is to have a receiver active to avoid your sender tubes from breaking.

Overflow of the overflow goes to channel '/dev/null'.

Most items are cached in unlocked chests for public access. Cobble is not available to public from chests.

Location: TODO

Under Fruitland. Between Public Workshop and the 'public mine' of Fruitland.
Due to its location, there are a lot of monsters spawning there. There are floors dedicated to hunters and a lift to surface, Public Greenhouse and to Public Mine below -2k.

List

POS currently supports these channels:

• bonemeal.mulch
• default.cobble
• default.sand
• default.stone
• moreblocks.cobble_compressed

Public Overflow Generators (POG)

Some of the items supported by POS may not be coming in due to players no longer being online.

So SwissalpS has started linking locations that produce overflow from POS. This allows players to go activate a generator and then go back to POS to get the items.
To qualify as a POG your machine must:

• be in a protected area.
• not generate lag. Area is dedicated to this one generator.
• be tuned to not exceed 200 items in tubes at any moment.
• look ok and preferably offer some education. (don't hide functions)

If you want your generator to be linked to POS, contact SwissalpS.
