Some help with routers

[nevakanezah]

I'm trying to get a router to extract blaze rods from my turtle-based farm, and deposit them into adjacent chests. However, the router refuses to do anything whatsoever, withdraw or insert, even if i place the blaze rods in its inventory. I have the required upgrades, but might have set it up wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Do the turtles show up in the machine filtered router? I'm not actually sure if they count as inventories for the purpose of this.

Turn the lever off. Routers will disable themselves on an active redstone signal.

And turtles will work fine with routers. In fact, even if something doesn't show in the Machine filter list, you can just type its name in to have it work.

Turn the lever off.

Y'know, every time someone complains that some block isn't working, this is what I'll tell them.

Turn the lever off.

Literally the first thing i tried, i'm afraid. Will the router still affect the relevant inventories if it's not adjacent? Because i can move it over and take the lever out of the equation entirely.

Oh.

Who ever said the Router wouldn't output to the Turtles?

 

[nevakanezah]

I need it to withdraw from them, actually, and output to the barrel. So far, it's reluctant, even though it recognizes the turtles as an inventory.

I've resolved it: The router required that it be adjacent to a line of turtles in order to function. I moved the router away from the lever, and replaced it with a turtle. It now works as intended. Thanks for the help

Lever off. Also, Routers must be connected to the turtles in some way. It could be touching an inventory touching the Turtles, but Routers only go to inventories that are put beside eachother. You can have a wall of Iron Chests, but if a router isn't touching any of those, or touching anything that touches something that touches something Et Cetera that touches the Iron Chest wall, then the router will do absolutely nothing.
