No complaints for multiplayer?

Be careful using these in multiplayer. Sometimes their orientation is not saved with a chunk. I had a cobblestone generator farm feeding into recyclers and it was working fine one moment, the next day there was tremendous lag and it turns out my iron pipes were all facing the same direction (north?) and the cobblestone was not leaving the pipe.

At 100% CPU and memory usage on the server, and myself (with a very good gaming PC) running at 8 FPS, it was very time consuming to get to the pipes and destroy them. Then the thousands and thousands of cobble popped out in item form. Oh god, the lag, one frame every few seconds.

After giving myself a lava block to melt all of it I was back to normal, but BE CAREFUL WITH THESE IN MULTIPLAYER.

I now use diamond pipes with a dummy item in all slots except the output, to the same effect as an iron pipe (although obviously much more expensive).
