Issue description

Absorption Hopper exports fluid directly to Experience Crystal is at a very slow speed, or even not working at all.
But when I use a Mechanical Pipe (from Mek) to connect both of them, it works fine.

Steps to reproduce

Other information

Tested on ATM-9 0.2.28.

Whats slow for you? It takes a few seconds to empty the whole absorption hopper into the crystal. I can say that the Experience Crystal is not the limiting part here. Here you see that the absorption hopper has a limit:

Here you see that Experience Crystal accepts everything all at once: https://github.com/MelanX/UtilitiX/blob/1.20.x/src/main/java/de/melanx/utilitix/content/experiencecrystal/TileExperienceCrystal.java#L178

I think that Mekanism Pipes don't accept the fluid, but instead they drain it from the hopper. By doing this, they can set the limit for extraction.

So it can be the automatical extraction amount is too small for a high efficient mob farm.

That is true but cannot be solved by me. The only thing would be that I implemented draining into the crystal but that’s a thing I don’t want.
Another solution for a mob farm would be that you put the crystal in the farm. Xp orbs move towards the crystal and the crystal will absorb them. Similar to the absorption hopper, but not instantly and without teleportation.
