Item Network

by y_e_a_r

This mod adds a new logistics mechanic: The Item Network. It replaces trains and logistics bots by teleporting items and fluids directly between Network Chests and Tanks.

a Crash-Site Logistics Center already does similar

The Crash-Site Logistics Center already does this, but a little less cheaty ;-)
Logistics Center requieres research and consumes electric energy depending on the distance.
An alternative way to be less UPS consuming would be to use linked chests

Oh, I remember that mod. Kinda thought it was abandonware since placing down the logistics center crashes the game more often than not, even with no other mods.

@ellensiel I've been playing with it again for a while, I just hadn't done any content updates for a while.
Before that I used only transport drones, LTN and bots for a while. This three tier transport system was enough.
But depending on how you want to play
1) you can meet the challenge of using existing transport systems,
2) make it easier to get started (Crash-Site Logistics Center)
3) or make it quite simple (Item Network)

Thanks for sharing this! I added a new section to the Readme with 8 similar mods that others have released.

The other mods all have different design priorities than Item Network so there are lots of options depending on what you're looking for.

The "similar mods section" is a goood idea. each mod should have this :-)
