    I'm glad that we're reducing lag by limiting amount of hoppers! When it came time to think outside the box, I came up with this! Much more server friendly, I think :)

    I used to use huge banks of droppers to feed my wool shops. 1 hopper essentially filling about 10 DC's.
    I'm sure the work around caused more lag than 10 hoppers.

    yeah, it's a bunch of droppers all constantly getting powered on and off by two observers faced into each other. droppers can shoot items into itself and i, genuinely, thought it would be the best solution for item transferring without use of hoppers (although i realized later that i could use water streams lol)

    Water streams don’t store items though. With banks of hoppers, you can essentially store many DC’s worth of items with one hopper.
    Just run a comparator off the final chest so your only powering the droppers when it’s not full.

    It wasn't really for storage but more so for the saving of hoppers so I didn't have to manually restock my shops. I used it mainly for my wool shops, 16 shops, each only requiring 1 hopper but holding several DC's of wool.
