Laser IO

Laser IO Nodes are generally recommended as a powerful option for wireless, long-range item transfer available pre-LV and gated by gold. Laser Nodes can be set to transfer items with an Item Card, at an initial speed of 8 items/second. Item Cards can be upgraded with 4 Logistic Overclockers to transfer up to 64 items/tick(1).

  1. 1320 items/second.

Create

Create offers a variety of cheap and flexible item transfer options, from Chutes to Mechanical Belts to Mechanical Arms. Create methods of item transfer synergize well with Create machinery, making building automated assembly lines with Create fairly simple.

GregTech Machine Covers

Besides just being a crafting material, GregTech Conveyors and Robot Arms can be installed on the sides of GregTech machines as machine covers, allowing them to push/pull items from nearby inventorires without taking up space. Robot Arms operate at the same speed as Conveyors, but offer additional configuration options. LV Conveyors and LV Robot Arms transfer 8 items/second, with the higher tiers providing increasingly higher transfer rates up to a maximum of 1024 items/second at LuV.

For more details, visit the GregTech Machine Covers page.

Pipez

Pipez Item Pipes and Ultimate Pipes allow for simple close-mid range item transfer, with Ultimate Pipes allowing for compact item/fluid transport, though initial transfer rates without upgrades are relatively slow. The base transfer rate for both pipe types is 4 items / second, and can be upgraded to transfer up to 64 items/tick(1) in EV.

  1. 1320 items/second.

Modular Routers

While considered a fairly niche option, Modular Routers can be used to transfer items wirelessly with Puller/Sender Modules. Mk2 Puller Modules pull items up to 12 blocks away (or 24 blocks with 12 Range Augments), while Mk2 Sender Modules send items up to 24 blocks away (or 48 blocks with 24 Range Augments). While the base transfer rate is just 1 item/second, Modular Routers can be easily upgraded with 6 Stack Upgrades to transfer 64 items/second.

Getting Blaze Powder in HV unlocks Mk3 Sender Modules that can send items across an unlimited range, and Speed Upgrades that can be used to increase item transfer speed even further up to 640 items/second.

Applied Energistics 2

Applied Energistics 2 ME Networks are an extremely powerful and flexible option for managing item transfer and storage in your base, alongside many other uses. ME Networks are available starting from late-MV to early-HV, and are highly recommended to set up as soon as possible.
