Filters seem to have an invisible inventory for items returned to it due to overflow. If you break the filter with a pickaxe, not only do you get the items back from the filter&apos;s slots, but you also get the items back that were returned to it. There is a serious drawback to this. If you decide you want to destroy the filter, make sure you siphon everything out of there first, because I crashed my server when thousands upon thousands of blazerods poured out of the broken filter. The machine had been off for hours, but the filter&apos;s hidden inventory was so full from days of blazerod returns, I had no idea there could be so many in there.

I honestly don&apos;t know how this can happen, because if the filter is that full, it shouldn&apos;t draw from the condenser... but it can happen. Believe me, it&apos;s a mess you don&apos;t want to have. If I dont&apos; get banned from the server for crashing it like that, I&apos;ll be lucky.
