Item Overflow Responder chip

The Item Overflow Responder Chip is an item added by Project Red which extract all items they have no place out of a transport system (see Usage).

If the mod MineChem is installed, then you can decompose the Item Overflow Responder Chip with the Chemical Decomposer into different chemical compounds of MineChem.

Usage


The Item Overflow Responder Chip functions primarily like the Item Responder chip, with very low priority, to storage items out of the transport system in a chest. The different to the Item Responder Chip is, that this Item Overflow Responder Chip extracts all items out of the transport system which have no place in the pipe system. For example, if new items are added to a storage and transport system in which all boxes are completely filled, these new items have no place for storage. The Item Overflow Responder extract these items out of the system in the connected chest.

Thus the player can see that the storage need to expand without that the transportation system consumed computing power for over-filling objects in the pipe system. The best course of action is at least one separate box connected with a Routed Interface pipe and an Item Overflow chip per completed pipe system.

Before the chip can be installed or upgraded to a pipe, it must be configured. This configuration is done through a menu opened by right-clicking with the chip in the player's hand. The chip can be installed in the Routed Interface pipe.

The Item Overflow Chip can be upgraded via the Router Utility (see section Upgrades) to raise the configurable priority value.

Priority
The priority (preference value) can be set in the standard version from -2 to 2, and indicates which chip (and the chest behind) preferred receiving the items. The chip with the highest number in the pipe network receives the objects till e.g. the box is full. Then a box with the next lowest number is tried. Have 2 or more chips the same value, a chip is randomly selected and permanently accessed until the box behind the chip is full.

Upgrades
The Item Overflow Responder chip has an L-Slot that can be upgraded with the Router Utility and the respective upgrades. The R-slot has no function.

L-Slot
The L-slot raises the maximum perference value and is calculated with Preference value = 2 + Latency. The maximum installable latency is 62. The latency can be raises with the LX Upgrade by 3, the LY Upgrade by 5 and the LZ Upgrade by 54. To upgrade the chip with a LZ Upgrade, also need you at the same installation process a LX and LY upgrade.

R-Slot
No function.
