Hamster: But if I have 2 retrievers both connecting to the main storage network & to the buffer chest then the input to both retrievers has been linked by their connection to the storage room and the items being retrieved from the buffer chest would have a path available to reach the other...

The key problem there budge is that with filters I only have 6 sides on the chest, 1 for input, can't block the top, leaves 4 output filters, and therefore max 4 machines running off each buffer chest. Given the buffer chest has to have all the materials for those 4 machines in it, I'll likely...

Yeah budge, I get what you're saying, but the problems I have with that setup is: 1) It's all or nothing - I have to turn on or off every single machine using tin, else the sorting machine will clog when it can't send out the items to that color. Given you have it on allstack sequential it won't...

That only really works if you assume only 1 input per system & doesn't allow for ensuring a specific ratio between multiple inputs. In short, your system's not what I'm trying to build. I've already got all that kind of stuff going on with sorting machines as-is, I'm trying to do something...

Thanks for the ideas, but I'm not sure any of those will work... 1) Using 1 retriever for all - The problem is I'm pulling items in ratio. If I get 30 tin for example, i want exactly 24 iron and 18 copper cause I'll be crafting 6 of that into bronze, smelting the iron, rolling machining it...

Just checked, retrievers still receive the item even if they have a constant redstone signal sent to them. That said, you did give me an idea with the mention of transposers... it seems that if I put a powered transposer after the retriever so that it has nowhere to send the item it will choke...

I'm currently trying to set up a pile of machines to automagically process different materials out of my storage system. I've gone and hooked up all the pipes & I started setting up retrievers to pull the items down for processing. I have a single timer set up pulsing all the retrievers with...

My worst effort was putting a new spawner in our base for endermen. Already had a T5 skele, zombie & creeper spawner up there, added a new setup with pistons & wiring so I could drop endermen down the same chute into our base for leg-chopping. Unfortunately I didn't consider the whole picking up...

Does anyone know what the general release schedule is like for things being wrapped up into the Feed The Beast modpacks? This bug's annoying me cause I love bees & I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to get this forestry patch in myself or to wait for the pack to update it but I can't find...
