I'm sure i'm doing something wrong, but i have a chest from which i want to pull items with an itemduct into barrels. I have it set to output (red), and i have a redstone signal (lever), but it just refuses to fill ma JABBA barrels, even though 1 is empty and the others have stuff in them that are also in the chest.

Does anyone know how I can use "Control-A" (Select all) to quickly backspace in NEI, like you can in Applied Energistics terminal
Is there a way to smelt-on-demand glass (or sand) to clear glass in ONE smeltery using an ME network while still being able to craft TiC items?
and hello everyone, i'm pretty new here
I recommend building another smeltery.
so I guess there's no way doing that in one smeltery... I managed to put an ME interface next to the smeltery controller and it put the sand in, but I couldn't figure out how to send a redstone signal that triggers the drain. Isn't there something that checks if liquid glass is in the smeltery to make it auto-redstone until it's empty?
No need for redstone, a fluiduct set to extract can suck liquids out of the drain, and fill up basins and casting tables
Yeah, put a bucket of molten glass in the fluiduct and it'll only extract that. It will stop if there's some other fluid in the smeltery underneath the glass, so it's no good if you're one of those types that keeps a bunch of different molten metals in your smeltery.No need for redstone, a fluiduct set to extract can suck liquids out of the drain, and fill up basins and casting tables
Minor bump. Does Steve's Factory Manager (I believe its called) have a means to detect if a machine has work? Its sufficient if it can read whether a slot in a machine is occupied (for instance, if a furnace has coal in the fuel slot and silver dust in the top slot, it more or less "has work" at that point)
GenerikB (in the "Attack of the B-team" pack) uses a system that cycles the entire contents of his smeltery and filters each fluid into it's own basin for processing and auto collection. He uses a toggle to select each fluid to collect.
[Edit] Here's the episode... starts about 8 minutes in.
Direwolf20 uses a simple filtered fluiduct to drain glass to a dedicated basin, using a similar setup but manually selects the glass to drain first, and both also filter blood out of their villager smelter emerald farms the similarly, since you need to keep a bit of molten metal in the smeltery to kill the villagers.

Hrm, I know that's possible with chests, but blocks have multiple slots needing comparing don't they?
I just checked this with a vanilla furnace, it seems to give an output when there's items in either input slot.
Yes. You use a "condition", and you can constrain it to a single slot or a range of slots.

Thanks a lot for the advice!
thaumcraft 4.1.0g. Scanning stuff (urgh) i get the you discovered a new clue thing, but while I have scribing tools and paper in my inventory I never get a research note. or did that change?
It now shows up in the Thauminonicon (or however it's spelled). Click on the entry and it will give you a research note (you still must have paper/ink).
