Dont know if it is know bug or if it is just me but i cant change the focus on rapid item valve. Or at least i think i cant. Next thing is that SFM valve does not wante work with runes from botania. It will not detected it or even trhow it out. But mooving from one chest to another is no problem. Edit : Sorry was using a wrong block on the change focus, but those rapid valves are still not able to input or output runes from botania.
When you say input and output, what are you referring to? Assuming you mean placing them in the world, thats the job of the block gate. As for sucking them in you have to specify where they go in SFM network.
For Rapid item valve can throw things out if i say rapid item valve as output :-D and as for input i had specified where they have to go in SFM network. Any other item can be outputet throw them. I am craftin runes like that in runic altar, but only those which does not require another runes. Also i think block gate is again on the List of able to place down blocks bcs my block gates doesnt place blocks anymore it just throw them on the ground. And that focus thing was on the block gate which is working, but still they cannot place down blocks.
The block gate not placing items is a permissions issue, it works outside of claims. Hmm... the item valve not outputting items is weird though. I will have to test that.
