    Hey Skyblock staff

    First i would like to give some perspective on how I've come to make think up and make this suggestion.

    After the new changes to droppers, being restricted to one pork per second, my grinder has started to overflow, at a rate of about 2 stacks of pork in 10 minutes, this is with 9 pig spawners and 1 cow. I was using an observer/repeater clock (or as i like to call them "dumb" timers as they just send signal as fast as they can, i used these type as was easiest at time to set up so i could get my farm running to make money this create) to trigger the droppers so they can sell to my alt, how ever these, as pointed out in the update, these types have been a new detected large chunk of the source of lag, my issue as a player is how can i make up for this back log of pork, i either, need to add a second rail of droppers, but then that would just add more lag, and what about when i end up with 20 pig spawner the over flow at that level would be a much bigger issues, id need 4 lines of droppers dispensing into a river if it was at that size, and this would be 4 times the amount of ticks at least and more lag we all dont need or want, and if i store the pork in chest like is commonly done, i have the issue of the /sell all cool down, making it a tedious task of trying not to forget about selling the pork when your chests are full up and your ready to sell your gathered stock.

    So my suggestion is can we increase the amount of pork moved per tick, from one pork to 5, or 8 or 16, or what ever number ends up being the favorite, just something higher so that transport systems dont have to have become complex, and large and most likely just and up as lag, and we as players get to make that money we want so badly, and perhaps this could be done for mob drops and other items as well or as staff see fit.

    Thank you for your time and consideration of my suggestion, Grips23 :)

    I have re-read this so i hope my wording is clear and makes sense, if not please ask and i can expand on things if needed

    I have a Cow Grinder that uses 4 Dropper towers that feed the items to where I want them to go. I had to make 4 of these towers as the mixture of Steak and Leather would overload the hoppers as they can only move 16 items at a time (in your case a mixture of Pork, Leather and Steak). You may also want to consider dropping the pigs through lava and onto glass panes/iron bars. When the pig/cow dies the items the items would drop through the spaces between the glass panes/iron bars (admittedly not all the items as some would get stuck on the pane/bar itself).

    Hopefully this is of some help im happy to help you out if needed :)
