Item ports

26.1.2JASM 0.6.8

Ports move items and fluids between the network and the blocks next to them.

Port	Does
Input Port	pulls into a linked Deck
Output Port	pushes out of the Deck
Two-Way Port	both, with output first

Two shapes

Thin: sits on a Data Cable face and works on the block in front of it.
Block: joins the network like a machine and works on every block it touches, with one set of filters and one speed shared between them.
On a JASM machine, a block port only moves what that face's I/O setting allows.
A block Input or Two-Way Port also takes items pushed into it by hoppers, pipes or machines.

Convert one shape into the other in a crafting grid.

Filters

Each direction has its own filter. An empty output filter sends nothing. A Two-Way Port shows one at a time: the Output and Input buttons switch between them.

Speed

Ports run twice a second while they are busy, and check once a second after five idle seconds. Five upgrade slots take up to four Speed Upgrades.

Upgrades	Items per operation	Items per second
0	1	2
1	4	8
2	16	32
3	48	96
4	96	192

Fluids share that speed with items.

More slots

A Power Upgrade makes the port supply FE to the machine it faces.
A Redstone Upgrade makes it follow a redstone signal.
On Output and Two-Way Ports, a Crafting Upgrade crafts what the port sends and a Stock Upgrade keeps a block stocked to a number.

Recipes

An Input or Output Port is an Access Port with a hopper or dropper, a Link Chip and a dye.
