Picture of my current setup for my factory that makes train dispensers.
(I was going to make a solar factory in my legit world, but I wanted to test it in my test world. I also didn't want to spoil myself by making a solar factory before I made one in my legit world, so I made a train dispenser factory instead)

You would expect this to work fine, but when it's stuck at 12 iron and 16 red dye (crowbars) I put that in. It instead uses 5 iron and sends it to the white path, sends the dye to the yellow path, and then keeps 7 iron in it and moves onto redstone.

Are sorting machines bugged in the ultimate pack's version of RP2? I've never had it try to use materials somewhere else when I specifically told it not to.

If this is just my incompetence and I have it on the wrong mode, tell me.

For those of you who can't see the numbers:

WHITE | ORANGE | LIGHT BLUE | YELLOW .....| LIME GREEN
5 Iron .| 3 Sticks | 7 Cobblestone| 12 Iron .......| 4 Redstone
...........| 3 String | 1 Redstone ...| 16 Red Dye .|

The periods are to make it look nice, because it only lets me place single spaces (So I have to have filler to put things in an interesting pattern).

Also, my filter is set to pull out cart dispensers when it receives a redstone signal. It is, every 0.4 seconds, and it's not pulling the cart dispenser out of my fabricator. Why is this?

Nothing is coming out of that filter, even when there's a cart dispenser in the fabricator. The extra wiring and stuff you see there is just a redstone update lag reducer that turns off the timer when there's nothing in the fabricator. It's not broken, btw, so it's not that the filter isn't getting a redstone signal.

This is my fabricator that makes crowbars. It doesn't do anything. I'm not even sure if it's getting sent materials.

I've made sure the emerald transport pipe is pulling out crowbars, and I've checked the crowbar's destination, and there aren't any crowbars there.


Thanks.

EDIT: I like how I've edited this post atleast 5,000 times and it hasn't even existed for 10 minutes yet.
EDIT: Changed the name of the thread title and added some pictures of more issues I've been having with this factory.

Your mode (bottom icon) is set to any match in the column to move on to the next column.

There is another column mode that waits for the whole column to match before sending and moving on.

try that and see if it gets to the behavior you want.

Baah, there are so many issues and bugs with this build.
I'm trying out the new icon.
EDIT: The new icon didn't work. Infact, it sent 12 iron and 16 red dye to the crowbar fabricator, and the emerald pipe pulling the crowbars out of that fabricator didn't pull them out. There wasn't anything there. Wtf is it doing with my crowbar materials?

I've just changed the name of the thread ahead of time, because it'll be one of those threads.
