Apologies for the stupid question, but... I've been making my own "anti-spoilage" mod, and was quite surprised to see it scoop up the "s6x-teleporter-input" item. Went to check, and yup! "spoil_ticks = 5," Are important important for the proper function of the teleporter? Would setting them to 0 or nil break functionality? Or more specifically - do I need to expressly exclude "s6x-teleporter-input" from the dragnet? :)

Yes, it would be a good idea to exclude it.

Internally, the teleportation cycle is just a crafting machine running a recipe with one input and no outputs. The s6x-teleporrter-input item is designed to rapidly spoil so that if you activate a teleporter that isn't going to work, due to lack of power or whatever, the item just disappears, rather than sitting there in the input slot. If it doesn't spoil, the useless items will start to pile up.

Roger that. Thanks for the quick response. It's a good thing I was planning on a system for excluding items :)
