Problem with BuildCraft Quarry

[Dr. Oshawott]

First of all, I'm in the Monster pack on the latest update. I recently set up a Buildcraft Quarry (don't have enough materials for Quarry+). It's working fine, but every time I check up on it, I see some items laying around that likely came from my quarry, there are no other nearby quarries running. Here's my set up:

My tesseracts are set up properly, around 95% of the items are being put into my AE system but I'm just concerned about the items I'm already losing when I come to check up on it.

How is the other end set up? Did you just put an import bus (btw, what kind of import bus) against the other tesseract? It may be that you need a better/different buffer on the other end of the tesseract pair, and it's periodically getting back-stuffed.

I'm not sure about your item question, but why do you have a spot loader there? Quarries are chunk loaders...

Here's the other end:

No idea quarries were chunk loaders, thought only the Quarry+ was.

Yeah they became chunk loaders in 1.5 IIRC. When you place it it should say how many chunks it'll keep loaded.

Last time I use tesseracts for a quarry I had the same thing happen, so I had to set a chest on top and then I set the fast item ducts to pipe into the tesseract.

Yeah this is most likely it. The "bandwidth" of the tesseract get overburdened just momentarily and items have no buffer to go to. A chest or Hopper or something with an Inventory as intermediary step between quarry and tesseract should fix the problem.

 

[Dr. Oshawott]

Seems that the problem is fixed now that I added the chest, thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure that Quarries were chunk loaders all the way back in 1.4.7. I'd have to check to make sure, and I don't have a 1.4.7 world loaded at the moment.

Yeah they were. I have never had to use chunkloaders in conjunction to quarries in 1.4.7.
