Title Alternative solutions to hoppers

Description of suggestion
Option 1 (Idea thanks to b3au_)
_______________________________
Use chunk hoppers

Option 2
_______________________________
Change up the sorter minion sightly to allow the output of a specific item into multiple output chests instead of 1.
Ex: Linking berries to multiple output chests via the same sorter minion

Option 3
_______________________________
Allow minions to store their own items (Specifically the ones that require an absurd amount of external storage), instead of linking an external storage they'd store it internally.

These are just some ideas I'm just throwing out there, if you have your own ideas on how to combat hopper's and their performance impact feel free to share that below.

Possible side effects of suggestion
Option 1 (Idea thanks to b3au_)
_______________________________
Pros
- One hopper instead of 84 per chunk
- Better server performance.

Cons: Negative impact on seller minions, as items would not flow down but rather be transferred into specific chests.

Option 2
_______________________________
Pros
- Ability to use them in place of hoppers more effectively.
- Makes the minion themselves more useful, giving more incentive to upgrade past tier 1-2.

Cons
- None that I can see.

Option 3
_______________________________
Pros
- No need for hoppers/huge towers of storage.

Cons
- Would need a way to configure them to link them to seller minions for selling.
- Would need a limit on the amount of items each minion can hold, as no limit would be pretty op.
 
Hey, thanks for the suggestions!

We have now implemented your option 2, so sorter minions can now have multiple output chests per item type. We are also still looking into implementing your other two suggestions :)
