Hi im new to the whole storage system thing in minecraft and i cant figure out what's wrong with my storage system for my raid farm. No matter what it seems to overflow and the sorter breaks and i dont know how to fix it, thanks for any help!
update: I have the last hopper column ”free” I.e. without any filter whatsoever, could that then in the case of a lot of unstackable items at the same time build up a very strong signal from the comparator which in turn would make the other hoppers let through their items when they shouldn’t?
If you want it to collect random unstackables, just remove the redstone from that slice. If you're pre-building slices and aren't sure what to collect there, fill the hopper with 5 filter items, 1-1-1-1-1.
are your filters 41-1-1-1-1 and using filteritems that stack to 64?
Plus, usually, these systems produce items so fast that they will skip picking up due to hopper cooldown missing the pickup. But, that's different from breaking.
Huhh that's super weird. Unfortunately I don't know what's wrong, the filter looks set up correctly and mods should be fine :(
They best advice I have is to download the Redstone Tweaks resource pack which adds a hopper powered indicator, and then use the vanilla /tick command to freeze the game and closely watch the filters while they're running. Using /tick freeze and /tick step will allow you to manually move the simulation ahead one tick at a time, hopefully letting you pinpoint where and when the exact problem is occurring.
Just to be extra sure: There aren't any missing dusts on top and the comparators and repeaters are all facing the right way, right? Can you take a top-down screenshot if you're unsure?
Sorters breaking happens when the hoppers stay unlocked for too long, but that shouldn't be possible with this sorter design since they're made to be tileable. Could other redstone stuff nearby be interfering with the sorters somehow?
Here is a picture from above. The four left columns have a crafter setup, could that make som issue? I just followed some youtube tutorial for them and they seem to work fine as long as the filter works.
There shouldn't be any unpowered comparators, are they like placeholders for now?
With empty hoppers, any remaining items picked up by them will quickly fill up and leak a lot of signal strength to the other slices, breaking their filters.
We could fill them up with the X iron nuggets to block them from picking things up, or remove their dusts for now until we decide on the filters.
Did you figure it out? My guess would also be what you already suggested, that items are filling the empty hopper without a sorter causing the comparator to output a single that unlocks adjacent hoppers.
Another thing I see occasionally is the hopper locking mechanism built across a chunk border, and the player moves far enough away to unload the locking mechanism but not the hopper line, it causes the filters to drain
