I've been playing Magic World 2 for a few weeks now. I'm at the point where I need to really start setting up a sorting system for some items. There just aren't as many options for sorting systems as in the more technical packs.
I am really trying to find a way to sort magic beans into barrels for use in crucible crafting. None of the methods I can think of will completely work compactly. I tried feeding barrels using hoppers, but if I stacked the hoppers, the hopper below would often pull the bean out before it was stuck into the correct inventory.
I also tried using golems to place items in barrels. I put a empty golem on a chest, and linked it to the barrels using the bell, but it couldn't actually place the items in the barrels as the barrels (JABBA) don't seem to have a legitimate inventory the golems can access. I also tried a use golem, and I could get it to fill one barrel, but it kept trying the same barrel each and every time. it never tried using the item on any other barrels, so this is kinda useless.
I saw a TC4 video where vanilla item movement and hungry chests were combined to make a sorting system. But this is a bit convoluted and doesn't really fit well with my build and my desire to try and use barrels to store the beans although it is a pretty neat mechanic.
I have also found the hopper ducts mod, and this does solve many sorting issues (using the hopper grates), but is hard to adapt for so many individual items with mana beans (51 different aspects/beans). I would need 1 individual hopper grate along with a bunch of hopper ducts to direct the output to the right barrel. I think this would be a 1:1 correlation. It's not impossible, but would take up considerable space to fit it all in.
So, my question to the FTB community is have I missed anything? I'm not familiar with all the mods in Magic World 2, so there may very well be an additional sorting "system" in some of the other magic mods that I am just not aware of that may fit the bill better than what I have found on my own.
