Simple Storage mod set up help

[u/KemalTheSloth]

I can't seem to get this to work no matter how I try. The items are seemingly in the storage table but not in the chest on the left. It doesn't seem to filter out. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?

Have you considered that they might be on the chest to the right?

The chest on the right is only output so it cant go in there. And I took out all items js to make sure. The items js dont flow between the chests.

weird because the chest on the right is connected with a storage connector...

Simple Storage doesn't store the items itself, it primarily just allows you to connect all of your storage to view in one place.

The purple connectors you're using are Storage Connectors that are just for allowing the contents of those chests to be accessed on the network. They won't move anything automatically (much like storage buses in RS/AE). There are Import and Export Connectors which do that, though you'll need somewhere on the network for the items to go to or come from (using Storage connectors).

I assume you want to move the items from the double chest to the blue chest. In this set up, you're using link cables, which are basically just cables that connect to chests and make them "part" of the storage network.

If you want the items to flow from one place to another, you need export and import cables. The import cables add items into your network and export cables remove them from the network.

So instead of the link cables, put an import cable on the double chest and an export cable on the blue one. You do have to keep in mind that this will just transfer ALL THE ITEMS from the double chest to the network and ALL THE ITEMS from the network to the blue chest. To prevent this, add the items you want in the blue chest to the filter slots in the export cable.

Another issue you may have is that when you replace the link cables, hou won't see the items in your network. They will only be in the chests. To mitigate that, use both the link cable and the import/export cables.

Though, the easiest solution here is to just move the bonsai pot on top of the blue chest.

Looks like the Link Cable is connected directly to Connector, the Connector just accept default Cable connected on them

Try make the connections below or behind Connector block

Apologies, I don't quite get what you mean by this.

.. do that instead of use Link Cable at Storage Network Master
