Storage Drawers Integration Tips

Storage Drawers plays well with other mods, but there are a few patterns worth knowing:

• Sided I/O — the controller, slaves, and drawers expose their inventory on every face. Pipes from any mod will work.
• Tag-based deposits — compacting drawers and the controller accept any item with the right NBT/tag. This is useful for "any iron" rules in some pipe mods.
• Server tick load — extremely large sorting walls (thousands of drawers) can lag servers. Keep controllers focused (one per region) instead of one giant network.
• Backup before big upgrades — adding Storage Drawers to an existing world is safe; removing it after building a wall will erase the contents. Make a world backup first.
