It should be in the output, right clicking the item in the whitelist. Also, the command should be set to 'run once for every output'.
Dont know what I did but I fixed it XD
I clicked around and hoped for the best
What would be the best way to automate sifting? I have means to automate cobble, gravel, sand and dust, but not a way to automate the sifting of it. Well, I do, but not a lmeans to pick up the drops save for standing by to pick them up myself. I want to be able to fully automate this while doing other things.. but how? Vacume hoppers are again the only thing I can think of, but is there another way?
Hoppers with water, omnidirectional hoppers and item valves can all pick up items.
Hopper with water is good because the flowing water counts for farming. smash your eggs to grow some chickens nearby and push them in there too, beware baby chickens can still drown in the 8th water block you need to wait for them to be full size. The same hopper system will gather the eggs.
Has anyone got any tips for the item transfer gadgets on the pressure chamber? I have figured the filters etc out, but they just pass out 1 or 2 bits of plastic as they form which wastes the pressure. Fuel is still scarece for me so I need to keep this thing efficient.
To force the machine to wait I have been putting random text in the output filter and watching in the window until I can see all of the seeds or parts have been processed.

It was on the 9th block. The babies still went missing. I even tried carpet on the hopper just in case the baby chickens were going down the sides of the hopper.
It doesnt matter now, once I got a few stacks I put a hopper on a jabba barrel for eggs. about 16 chickens fill a barrel in a reasonable time, once there is one adult in there I can break the eggs anywhere and the chicks take themselves into the hopper.

The pressure loss when items are pulled out is handled on a per item basis, so pulling more out at once uses the same pressure. You've alreadydone thebest thing you can to help with efficiency by installing the item valves. The thing with pressure is you have to think about it like you do any other power unit. It gets used up when you do anything, and like RF there isn't a good way to use less.
If fuel is a problem for you I would recommend working on either a tree farm for charcoal or gravel sifting for coal. Both can be automated fairly easily, and both will help you with multiple resources simultaneously, making them a worthwhile investment.
Small tip for starting out. If you can afford to, sieve dirt to get rocks to make your first pieces of cobblestone. Dirt has a much higher drop rate than the dust, and a furnace is a vital piece of equipment for your early survival, more than any ore dusts. Zombie Flesh is a good early game source of compostable materials.
Found this out after sieving stacks of dust and hardly getting any stones (RNG was against me). I had a couple of spare pieces of dirt that I didn't need, so thought I'd try and get some seeds, ended up with enough rocks to get my slab furnace built.

or you can venture out to the road and dig up the black cobble with a bone pick
I wouldn't waste the dirt. If you're smart you'd have used up the first day digging out a trench around your base as well as a wall, AND you also have time if you didn't go crazy making the trench area super big to dig out the frount of the ship (so further make the walls 2 high by using the ship walls) as well as the hills around your ship. If you shift the extra dust you gathered on your first night you'd have more then enough stones to get your slab furnace and then some.
You should also have your first two iron bits to make into ingots for shears, use oak until you get an apple then join it with a sapling to get an apple tree, then switch to birch and shear leaves. Don't bother with a crook save for the first tree or two. Shears drop saplings as well as leaf blocks. You'll get far FAR more leaves to make into dirt then you'd get saplings with a crook. The sapling drop from shears isn't bad either.
Between the leaves and the rotten flesh from zombies you'll have a constant dirt production going. Enough to always have water ready, enough to have some left over to soft for seeds, and enough to lay down for farm lands.
Trust me, with my luck, I only just managed to get enough stone from dust to survive before my supplies ran out on me. But, I had plenty of dirt that I could have easily have used the 2-3 pieces that I used for something else much sooner.
I think my slab furnace was built on day 3, then I was just constantly having to waste my dirt on dirty water to cook until I had my shears.
Now, not a problem. Using the passive crucible water gen with sheared leaves method, since it saves a crafting step of dirty water and fuel to cook.
Now I'm at the stage where I have to explore the city to progress.
As to the crook (which lives up to it's name), had to restart a world once because both my birch and oak sapling never dropped a single sapling even using a crook...
Dunno about you but by day 3 i usually only have to plop leaves/rotten flesh and some charcoal and i have auto water
(thanks sfm)My starting stratagy
1.Get and sift about128 (2 stacks) of dust
2.cut down 2 or 3 trees
3.craft slab furnace
4. Setup auto composer
(6 barels 1 chest 6 redstone torches 15 itemducts 1 pneumatic servo)
5.make sheers
6. Sheer all the leaves in as many trees as you can until sheers break
7. Put leaves in chest and wait
8. Sift about 3/5 of the dirt
9.make cobble gen
10.watever
