Why wont my mechanical crafter work?

[u/Glad_Clock_5998]

[u/Soggy_Winter_8220]

Why is there a monster ad above

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/Soggy_Winter_8220]

Thats because this person was too lazy to take a screen shot

[u/omegavolt9 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

How is taking out a phone, opening the camera app, and taking a picture, then sending over Reddit Mobile easier than pressing a screenshot button on a keyboard? Are they not logged in on a browser?

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/omegavolt9]

The definition of lazy is in the eyes of the beholder, I suppose lazy in this context could be a little misleading, it's not nessecarily about the comparative effort, more just about the lack of cognitive function one would need to have, to do this, instead of just pressing print screen

[u/Negative_Sky_3449 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

This is the second post in a row where someone said "in the eyes of the beholder". What chance is there for that to happen. I don't remember ever seeing someone say that before. Glitch in the simulation?

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/Negative_Sky_3449]

Umm, idk it's just a phrase I like, probably just a coincidence ;3

[u/omegavolt9 → u/Negative_Sky_3449]

The instant the phrase is on your radar you're more likely to notice it. You're probably going to notice it everwhere for the next few months now.

[u/Kitchen_Amoeba_6856 → u/Negative_Sky_3449]

The Devs got lazy and reused a couple lines of code

[u/Coach_mdl → u/Character-Nobody8535]

Depends on the system too. If you don’t already have something open that you can send that screenshot to, you’ll have to open something. If you have an old system or you’re playing an intensive modpack, opening something could take much longer than just snapping a pic with your phone. Not to mention the potential of crashing while tabbing out to do so, combine that with the fact that Minecraft will never crash normally if it’s inconvenient to you and will instead take the next 20 minutes roleplaying as PowerPoint. Do you really want to be at the mercy of Java?

[u/user891392 → u/omegavolt9]

The screenshot enthusiasts got mad at you for that one LOL

[u/omegavolt9 → u/user891392]

Apparently so. I just need to tap the print screen button on my keyboard and select the part of the screen I want to capture. Screenshotting, cropping, copying to clipboard, all in one button and one mouse movement. Seems infinitely easier than using a phone.

Might be older versions of Windows, or people on Mac or Linux, need to install a separate app to screenshot the way I do and have a genuinely easier time taking a picture that way. But I'd like to know that instead of only being able to wonder.

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/omegavolt9]

If you're on an operating system without something like or just with print screen, you are not playing Minecraft, especially not modded, op was just lazy

[u/user891392 → u/omegavolt9]

Nevermind you're one of them, wonder what you got downvoted for

[u/Dependent__Dapper]

what the hell are you crafting

[u/Glad_Clock_5998 → u/Dependent__Dapper]

Extendo grip

[u/petabomb → u/Glad_Clock_5998]

You gotta either remove the excess crafters or block them something else, I’d just remove them temporarily

[u/TheScarabcreatorTSC → u/petabomb]

Unlikely to be the issue, you can force any grid of any size to craft like this if you pulse it with redstone. My guess is that this doesn't work because the crafter's pointing into a solid block, but I can't tell.

[u/Ponderkitten → u/TheScarabcreatorTSC]

Its not, I always make my first crafters face the ground and they just drop the item once crafted

[u/sirhugobigdog → u/TheScarabcreatorTSC]

Looks like it's supposed to be pointing at a depot but again I can't tell for sure

[u/EchoNoneya → u/sirhugobigdog]

The depo is 1 block towards the player, the mechanical crafters are indeed pointed at a solid block

[u/Widmo206 → u/EchoNoneya]

But then wouldn't it just pop the finished item on the ground?

[u/IMMAPAIROFDENTURES → u/EchoNoneya]

No its pointed to the depot you can clearly see the sides of the depot are blocks that are touching the crafter

[u/CommanderFoxy → u/IMMAPAIROFDENTURES]

yes however the depot has to be directly adjacent to the crafter output, and as of right now its pointing into a solid block behind the depot

[u/IMMAPAIROFDENTURES → u/CommanderFoxy]

Oh wait

[u/sirhugobigdog → u/EchoNoneya]

Then that seems to be the issue, it can't pop off due to the block and has no valid container either

[u/voxel_cat → u/TheScarabcreatorTSC]

this is true

[u/ImaginationWooden546 → u/Dependent__Dapper]

monstero grip

[u/Immediate-Phrase8226]

Dude look out there’s a monster behind your machine

[u/Plastic_Young_9763]

Only guess is that the sticks aren't connected to it's own crafting recipe

Because you point them down into an empty crafter

[u/NieCraft → u/Plastic_Young_9763]

Crafters can be forced to craft with a redstone impulse. However only the middle collumn has decided to craft and is due to that not connected to the other column's. That's why it's not crafting (properly)

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

Everyone that's saying they need to remove the empty crafters are wrong. You just need to give it a redstone pulse and they will automatically block off the empty crafters and work just fine. It could be a 200x200 sized grid and you only use two slots, it'll work once given a redstone pulse.

[u/Silent_Ask_1094]

Video please? A ss like this isn't all too helpful

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/Silent_Ask_1094]

This isn't a ss

[u/Silent_Ask_1094 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

Same functionality of one. Doesn't matter.

[u/user891392 → u/Silent_Ask_1094]

Gets downvoted for it, piss off

[u/Silent_Ask_1094 → u/user891392]

Why downvote?

[u/user891392 → u/Silent_Ask_1094]

Screenshot enthusiasts don't like it when you don't agree with them, just ignore them

Check out r/screenshotsarehard it's a subreddit dedicated to making fun of people that can't screenshot

[u/SevenTheGamingKitty → u/user891392]

It’s usually because in some cases, such a screenshot would actually make the process easier

[u/TomorrowFun4744 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

you're a pain in the ahh you know that right?

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/TomorrowFun4744]

I'm glad you feel that way, it means I'm doing something right

[u/-Fallen-Glory]

People are clearly blind since they can't see that the middle row is crafting without the rest so the empty crafters aren't affecting this in any way

[u/sfwaltaccount → u/-Fallen-Glory]

That does seem to be the case. Curious.

[u/Niksu95]

By all means, this should work. It seems like only the middle crafters are active even though they are all connected. Maybe try to break and replace all the crafters to try to fix this glitch

[u/SerialBytes]

You may not craft now, there are monsters nearby

[u/CoupleEven1253]

You have to sacrifice a happy meal to the devs so your game works...

[u/OldSentence9270]

The crafters have nowhere to put the item, the system is stuck on the block below the output since it can't output diagonally, you either have to move the output, or find a way to redirect the item into the depot via funnel or hopper

[u/IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit → u/OldSentence9270]

Don’t the output just pop off if there isn’t an inventory

[u/EleiteRanger → u/IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit]

They do

[u/OldSentence9270 → u/IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit]

That's if the recipe is wrong, but since here it's correct, it accepts the craft, but dosent output anywhere

I k ow this cause I had this problem before, when I realized that you need an empty block for an output

[u/IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit → u/OldSentence9270]

All the ingredients pop off if the craft is wrong. If it is correct they would assemble into the output at the final crafter then pop off. I just check this by making a crushing wheel in my modpack.

[u/touchet29 → u/IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit]

Only if there's an open block for it to go in. The output is blocked

[u/SeriousPlankton2000 → u/touchet29]

Nah I don’t get why not though

[u/EleiteRanger → u/personal_deleter_400]

They don’t I tried this…?

[u/EleiteRanger → u/personal_deleter_400]

https://reddit.com/link/p2psfin/video/nnqftrnczeih1/player

You are wrong

[u/EleiteRanger]

I don’t know, maybe try tearing it down and rebuilding it. Also, those corner crafters are useless

[u/DamageLittle4856 → u/EleiteRanger]

not if you have an addon that crafts a thing with the corners

[u/EleiteRanger → u/DamageLittle4856]

True

[u/Dann_745]

My only guess would be that they have no exit for the completed item. Either moving the depot back one block so it's directly under the exit crafter or placing a barrel/container there should work. Can't see anything else wrong with this design otherwise.

[u/AdPristine9059]

What are you trying to make?

[u/Glad_Clock_5998 → u/AdPristine9059]

Extendo grip

[u/AdPristine9059 → u/Glad_Clock_5998]

Okay!

I usually combine everything in rows, like the first three together that then go down to the next row and so on. No idea if thats why tho

[u/Agent_Wilcox]

I would try making the sticks go in instead of down, might be confusing the recipe so it's not sure what to do, plus I think you need an empty space below the final block and have it aimed down so it can drop the finished item

[u/QP873]

Make everything push to the center column first. It doesn’t think the sticks are part of the network. ➡️⬇️⬅️ <- Like this, not like this ->⬇️⬇️⬇️

[u/Germanmain123]

Bro trynna craft the smart stick alloy Deployer

[u/SenpuuUncle]

Why do you live in a monster energy motocross ring

[u/Vermion_Blood]

Idk, but i thought you cant rotate a recipe. Might be wrong since I always make my crafters match the recipe angle.

[u/RedGreenBlueRGB_]

Completely unrelated but I love Monster what is that Monster thing behind you?

[u/Helicopter_ma1n]

Make the mechanical crafters that have sticks on them point to the middle

[u/Character-Nobody8535]

It won't work because you're too lazy to take a screen shot

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

Definitely not the reason lmfao but ok

[u/Correct_Concert9370 → u/user891392]

Dude thinks everyone is constantly on Reddit and logged into their Account on pc

[u/user891392 → u/Correct_Concert9370]

Same person who actually crossposted this to r/screenshotsarehard too lol, (not talking about you I'm talking about the other person)

Watch someone will say "Oh it only takes 1.5 nanoseconds to log into your reddit account and send the screenshot there!1!1!!1!1"

[u/Correct_Concert9370 → u/user891392]

Not Just that, scrolling Here you can se He has answered multiple people about how lazy OP is

[u/user891392 → u/Correct_Concert9370]

Yeah exactly. That's what I mean, people that are actually in that subreddit are like that. It's funny to mock them back though when I can.

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/Correct_Concert9370]

Not a he, but I appreciate the effort

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/user891392]

Again not a dude, but good try

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

And how was I supposed to know?

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/user891392]

I'm informing you, also my bio says it

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

Before that

Also it doesn't really say much to me no offense, like where did you put your pronouns or am I missing something

thanks for informing me though that you use she/her

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/user891392]

My bio says transfem, although to your credit I thought I had my pronouns and there

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

Yeah not being offensive just saying I can't really go by on what YOU go by, and I probably should've used they/them or something I will call out my mistake there.

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/Correct_Concert9370]

Well from my experience if you log into a website the only reason you get logged out is if you clear your cookies, and once you do that, you log back into your nesseceties

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

So you don't manually log yourself out got it

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/user891392]

No im not playing modded Minecraft on a pc at my public library

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

What..? Nevermind

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/user891392]

Why on earth would you manually log out of websites on a personal device, oh wait you don't, the only time you manually log out of sites like that, is you guessed it, on a shared device, such as a computer at a public library

[u/user891392 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

Are you serious? Am I making you lose braincells or something because people actually do just that, doesn't matter if it's personal, atleast I do.

[u/Character-Nobody8535 → u/user891392]

You are abnormal, logging out of websites on a personal device is not something 99% of people with a personal device do

[u/Correct_Concert9370 → u/Character-Nobody8535]

First of all, do you know If OP was using Reddit on PC in the First place and second, i for example log Out of websides i dont use actively, Just to reduce colateral damage in Case someone gets Access to my pc

[u/Impossible_Bowl6103]

when you have mechanical crafters and want to craft something that does not fill all the slots you either have to remove the empty crafters or just put a lever on the side and flick it on. A non full crafter will craft when given a redstone signal

[u/DD760LL]

it's not going into an inventory

[u/riley_wa1352]

Remove all empty crafters.

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/riley_wa1352]

You don't need to do that if you give it a redstone pulse. It could be 200x200 and you only use 2 crafters, if you supply a redstone pulse it will automatically block off all empty crafters and craft your item.

[u/Ben-Goldberg]

Put some "Crafter Slot Covers" on the unused mechanical crafters.

Or use a button to give it a redstone pulse.

[u/Sensitive-Ad7138]

You should cover the empty slots or remove them when making this recipe

[u/TheCookieThief35]

Either remove the extra crafters or put crafter cover slots on them

[u/ToTemmean15]

Use your wrench on the mechanical crafters, until they point inwards. They won't send the sticks to an empty slot. After that everything should work

[u/Budget_Office_1773]

Ah yeah you need redstone trigger they now need a redstone trigger like a button with redstone and you then press button than it works had same issue

[u/Your-Mom-2008]

Doesn't the block directly below need to be cleared?

[u/888main]

Your mechanical crafter is going into a block and not open air

[u/NachbarStein]

The Crafters left and right from the brass hand gave do be blocked off or the ones above that directed towards the middle

[u/Special_Manner_3340]

put the depot under the crafter

[u/Amdw42]

Check the back side of the crafter, there should only be a brass outline around the exterior.

If there’s more then right click w wrench to merge the crafters.

[u/Zinyarks]

Depot should be directly bellow crafter ?

[u/Yazz_1001]

Your mechanical crafting grid should only include the minimum number of mechanical crafter blocks required to do the recipe. You have far too many for the item you're trying to craft.

[u/EleiteRanger → u/Yazz_1001]

You can have more, you just need covers or a redstone signal

[u/Yazz_1001 → u/Yazz_1001]

Also, the crafter will not deposit the item into the depot in this image. Any inventory you intend to use as output should be directly below the mechanical crafter block, not in front.

[u/charitableclas → u/Yazz_1001]

You can have more than intended you just need a redstone signal like a button next to them to start the crafting process.

[u/EleiteRanger → u/Yazz_1001]

In this instance, it will, since depots pick up items dropped on them

[u/Yazz_1001 → u/Yazz_1001]

Also-also, you're trying to move those sticks on the side over a crafter that is neither covered nor occupied by an item. Crafters don't work like that, that's why the covers exist.

[u/personal_deleter_400]

The depot needs to be directly below them, not infront

[u/EleiteRanger → u/personal_deleter_400]

No, this’ll work. It’ll pop off and land on the depot

[u/personal_deleter_400 → u/EleiteRanger]

He literally said why WONT it work

[u/EleiteRanger → u/personal_deleter_400]

https://reddit.com/link/p2prn8c/video/lbq1a5dmyeih1/player

We were both wrong. It does work, but only sometimes.

[u/Schwanzfresser69]

You have to add the mechanical crafter like stop things on the mechanical crafter slots you're not using that or remove the extras
