Request Need help with Steve's Factory / Botania

[mbbkraft]

Hello,

So i'm trying to make a setup with SF with block gate to automate Living Rock / Living Wood for Botania, the idea is to make a chest filling in smooth stone / oak wood and then placing them to transform in living block from botania to output in a barrel

I already did this setup but i'm deaf so i may missed something by watching how people are doing on video.


Let me explain before showing the screenshot :
For the living wood i did like this : (I always target "UP")
-> Trigger (+ 2 Variable (both targeting all gate))
-> ForEach
-> Input from all gate with living wood whitelisted
-> Ouput to my barrel
-> Condition with orange variable and Living Wood whitelisted
-> Input oak wood from my chest (amount : 8)
-> Output oak wood to orange variabl (= 8 gate)

Then this working perfectly : when i put wood in my chest if there is no living wood on gate it wait all to transform into then output to the barrel and place 8 oak wood to start again.

So my little question for this is : how to make place 1 wood on 1 gate when it can instead of doing 8 by 8 ?

Second question : Why i did EXACTLY the same setup / build for living rock and what it does it never stop placing smooth stone so all my stone are dropped on the ground ? The only difference with my 2 setup is only that the chest and the barrel switch place.

So here is the screenshot, i give all what i have because this point of the game make my head explode, everytime there is something illogic, like why by setting the same setup on dont work ? It's a bug ? Something only people not deaf can understand ?

Here's the screenshot :


I hope i will finish to understand this because it's really stressing in my situation when even by watching video i can only deduce what is said by myself >_<

Thanks in advance for any answer.

This mod (Steve's factory) look definetly bugged ... I do everything possible, i change everything to figure why with the wood it work and why with the stone it simply place them without stopping but nothing to do it defintely dont work. Maybe should i report this bug ? Anyway i will cheat myself a creative barrel of this living rock because if it's not a bug it's impossible de understand it alone by being deaf.

Sorry for the "angry" sound of the text but trust me, being deaf and learning minecraft is far far more difficult then being able to ear every video that can help you, i will just continue and if someone can help me cool but now my head will explode if i continue to think about this bug

Breaking stone gives cobblestone, so you need to check for cobblestone in your condition instead of stone.

No it's not supposed to break stone..
Here what i want to do :
I want the setup to put Living rock from gate to my barrel (Living rock from Botania mod is just breaking into Living rock, not cobble living rock), then if there is no living rock on gate it take 1 stone from the chest with stone and output it on the empty gate, then it repeat the process until the barrel is full. The probleme here is that even if there is stone already on the gate it take another from the chest and try to place it but cant because there is already a stone placed on the gate.
What i want to is just to say "stop, dont put stone when the gate is already filled" but i cant figure how to

somebody who watched direwolf's setup reposted the configuration onto reddit, the link is http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/2nqilk/dw20_17_automated_botania_livingwoodlivingrock/
I tried putting it together myself yesterday while using that link and direwolf's video as a reference, I finally got it working though it took me quite some time

note, direwolf has the block gates pointing upwards but has a stone ring 2 blocks above the gate to prevent the gates from placing 2 blocks ontop of eachother
in the reddit post they point the block gates downwards to prevent this from happening, but you can still do it how direwolf did it by using the magic crayons from OpenBlocks.
instead of a stone ring you can place a ring of magic crayons. when you're wearing the crayon glasses you can see the crayon blocks, but when you take the crayon glasses off they become invisible, but the blocks are still there and the block gates still see them and will not place 2 blocks ontop of eachother

Hmm ok i will try this, but why it work with oak wood and not with stone ? Or maybe it's only with stone that the gate place 2 blocks ... but it strange
