Most performant item teleportation?
Will let you know how I get on, I couldn't find anything to say if the overhead of belts was expected to be more or less than items going in/out of DS via adapters. I assumed belts would be less overhead since CS have no doubt spent a lot of time optimizing belts but your comment implies the opposite so that's really interesting.

If there is no data on that though then happy to take a look at VS CPU Profiler and see if I can gather some data on it. May take a few weeks to build the factory needed for testing at scale though :dogekek:

Nice. Not sure how far down the rabbit hole you guys went with testing, I've been wondering if the mod would perform even better if you only used Storage Connections for initial inputs and final outputs i.e. have chests at the beginning of the production line which export the raw materials from DS and chests at the end which import the results into the network. Leave all the machines doing the processing connected via belts
I haven't been able to find much detail on the performance impacts of say Factory/Crafting connections vs belts especially after the 1.2.1 performance update

Looking a bit closer - the Dimensional Downloader mod is grabbing "stacks" (although sometimes not full ones? sometimes it grabs 200 plates, sometimes it grabs 50-100) into an internal buffer and then spitting those out which seems promising if paired with Instant Upload Speed to make it actually usable (even if the upload speed is significantly slower than the 95k/minute it shows in the UI lol)
It's a lot more limited than the likes of Digital Storage, especially given that mod can handle fluids/gases as well, but then that might be a good thing from a performance perspective

Most performant item teleportation?
I've spun up a test save with all the popular mods for this I could find but they all seem to move items individually (albeit at a high speed) rather than stacks unfortunately

Most performant item teleportation?
Thinking you might be right, if there's no data out there then I'll have to go create some. Any particular tools/commands that would be good for measuring/comparing?
May have to design my factory with refactoring in mind so limiting any item teleportation to inputs and final outputs while leaving all the intermediate steps between the machines on belts so it's easier to refactor for testing and/or if there's a big performance issue

You're not wrong, a better way to phrase the question may have been has anyone used these mods (or similar) in 1.0 with a large-scale factory and if so, was there any noticable performance impact
