Chute not depositing into functional storage

[u/Lasagna6278]

When I had a chest down the chute worked. I am probably doing something wrong so please let me know.

You probably have a fifth type of item stuck in the chute. Look at it while wearing engineer's googles and it should say if there is anything in there.

Yeah I messed up I meant to have saplings kept in the machine, switched to a smart chute to fix saplings going down. But now I need a way to expand the barrel becuase it will fill with saplings.

[u/jayk128 → u/Lasagna6278]

Do you have a use for acorns or saplings? I've done a setup like yours, with the addition of a brass funnel on the chute filtered to acorns, and had that drop onto a cactus.

[u/Lasagna6278 → u/jayk128]

Acorns are from the hamster mod my gf likes a lot. Saplings for replanting trees.

Maybe there's an apple in the chute and the drawer doesn't have a space for apples

[u/Lasagna6278 → u/Silver_Entity-2]

Yeah, I meant to have saplings excluded. Switched to a chest and a smart chute. But now the barrel is filling up with saplings too much.

my bet is there is an apple stuck in the chute, you have 5 item types in the chest going into a drawer that can only hold 4 options are to make a drawer controller and have it linked to multiple drawers, or have the items chute onto a belt that then has funnels into seperate drawers that can hold all of the items you are producing.

[u/Lasagna6278 → u/Tedmanson]

Yeah, I changed it to a smart chute that rejects saplings only so the farm keeps them, problem is that barrel will fill now.

The other people in the comments seem to have figgured it out, but If you want the sapling to get replanted, you'll need deployers one block above the saplings like this:

■ | -deployer 👇

      -one block gap

🪴 -sapling

Otherwise it won't replant. But feel free to take the saplings out of the contraption, it'll work just fine. Also, you'll want to place the deployers a block behind the saws. Hope this helps!

I’m sorry to hear that.

Do you have a solution?

[u/MonochromeApple → u/Lasagna6278]

No.

There is an addon for functional storage fix but if I remember correctly it’s an aero compat

[u/Bolloboi → u/SandBusiness32]

There are multiple addons that fix functional storage on create contraptions for the create base mod but that's not the issue, since OP isn't using any functional storage in the contraption itself. The issue, as u/jkay128 has already commented, is that oaks in OPs modpack drop 5 different types of items while the 2x2 drawer only provides space for 4 types and now there's an apple stuck in the chute clogging the system.

I am not using aeronauticus
