[SOLVED] Storage Bus isn't working properly with barrels.

[343N]

When I put something into the AE system, it goes into the storage bus fine, but the Terminal can't see it and therefore I can't pull it out the terminal.
I've got a video here (may be uploading):

This used to work fine in Ultimate and whatever, so I don't know what's wrong

try putting the storage bus on the bottom of the barrel

 

[343N]

that won't make a difference, since ME Storage Bus' override Barrels and DSU's and the such and can interface from any side.

 

[343N]

yup, did it anyway, put it on the bottom and the exact same thing happens

Maybe it is because your filter item isn't in the first slot in the storage bus GUI. It could be trying to load into that specific slot on the barrel, when the barrel only has one "slot" for items to go into. Try the top left slot as the filter for the barrels.

 

[343N]

I had the filter item in the first slot, and in none of the slots, same thing.

Hmm... I'm testing this in creative right now. Yes i can replicate it an kaovalin's suggestion has no effect. It appears to be only the factorization barrels, other forms of storage work just fine. So unless you wish to change to JABBA barrels which have the same functionality as FZ barrels except they can have inputs/outputs on any side or Deep storage units from MFR A work around that i have found is putting a storage bus on top and on the bottom and then setting the top one to insert only and the bottom one to extract only. It sucks it now costs you 2x the buses for each barrel and it doesn't allow you to see how much of those items are in storage (only shows 64 in storage at any given moment) but it is a workaround that allows you to keep your barrels and not have to deal with transferring their contents

well, time to use JABBA then
thanks! so I wasn't doing anything wrong.

 

[KhrFreak]

the nice thing about Jabba barrels is they're upgradable and the max size barrel holds 8192 stacks i believe, for all of those insane pack-rats out there who can't stand to throw anything away

 

[343N]

pff
who needs 8192 stacks when the DSU can store 31,250,000 stacks

 

[Juanitierno]

Storage buses have write-only, red-only and read-write modes. Are you sure you where in the correct mode?

 

[343N]

Yes, I was in the bi-directional mode. Jabba barrels are working with the exact same setup so it's probably a factorization/AE compatibility thing

If DSUs allowed direct interaction and had graphic displays like barrels, I'd be all over them!

well you could put storage monitors form AE that when upgraded with a conversion matrix act exactly like any regular barrel.

Well, they don't let you deposit items into them, so you still find yourself defaulting to the terminal for everything. :-\

With the conversion matrix they are supposed to let you. If not that is a bug.

I have used conversion matrices to pull items from them, but I was never able to deposit items back in. If that is possible, then someone please prove me wrong!

I'll try it tonight to confirm. However, I normally just use the wireless access handheld. Then I dont even need to go to where my storage is, it comes to me.

Edit: A tip for using the wireless access; set priorities on your storage in the order in which you want it to appear in the terminal. I even setup an "active" chest that is prioritized first so that I can easily grab and go without doing searches.

See the following link

http://ae-mod.info/ME-Storage-Monitor/

It says you need to both add a conversion matrix to the storage monitor by Shift+clicking it on (there will be a small visual difference in the corners). Then you have to lock the monitor to that using some kind of wrench. Only when both those conditions are met will you be able to input and extract from the storage monitor. Tested on DW20 and succeeded.

Input with shift+right click, pull out with right click.

Always something new to learn with mods. Thanks.
