Boni suggested I add something similar: https://twitter.com/bonusboni/status/753678824588644352

So I got to thinking and figured, hey the Disposal Track already does this for entities, no reason we can't make it do it for items too.

So the idea:

• Add a filter slot gui to limit cart types
• Make Disposal Track extract items from carts
• Make Disposal Track spawn extracted items or insert into inventory below track.
• Rename to Dumping Track?

How about making it dump to a side and vomit all the items in entity form at once. The cart model could tilt in that direction.
People can then build their own systems to deal with the item onslaught. Or garbage.
Also: I don't think it's necessary to have it dump mobs, too.

vomit all the items in entity form at once

Massive entity count increase, also I've seen items that respond to being dropped.

So use the unloaders if that's either to taxing or unwanted gameplaywise. I actually like the thought that there's items that can't be handled this way.

Not sure if the "insert into inventory" part is needed. We have the unloaders for that, as well as the hopper cart being able to do that on it's own. The rest I approve of though!

It would still be a very "dumb" system without all the bells and whistles of an unloader. No filters (besides cart), no stocking, no locking track integration/interaction, etc...

Maybe if it's also slower than the normal unloader?

Probably.

I actually like the name "Disposal Track".

Disposal track is great 👍

I've implemented all the ideas here. I just need to add a GUI and test.

This is "no longer implemented" because old code cannot be merged onto the new base any more.

Right so I need to do some git magic it looks like to bring this in.
