Sorting System help.

[Blinkerty]

I am currently using and enderchest attached to a quarry and i'm pulling it out from the receiving end into a router to chuck into barrels.

The problem I am having is that when something goes in like dungeon loot ( books, saddles, etc ) it gets jammed.

Normally I use pneumatic pipes so I would just stick and overflow chest on, but I want to do something different so I went with this. This is not a major problem however it does make it difficult when I leave the quarry going overnight.

Is there anyway I can sort out dungeon loot out of the system? do i need more barrels? do i need to position a chest somewhere? if anyone can help that'd be great.

I am currently running the default mindcrack pack.

It's been a while since I've used routers, but depending on the mode you're using, you might be able to place a chest next to the barrels for stuff that doesn't have a barrel. I'm not 100% sure this will work though.

You could also try going with BuildCraft pipes, and using Thermal Expansion's insertion pipes to get something more like the tube + barrel combination.

Logistics pipes and polymorphic item sinks along with a default chest is one method.

By the time I start using a quarry I usually have a 100mj to supply it through a tesseract and a basic AE system to hold the ingots/dusts and LP to hold the other random bits.

Its a shame LP isn't in mindcrack. But you should be able to do something similar with RP2 pneumatic pipes and sorting machines.

Wooden pipe on the router. If an item is longer then 3 seconds in the router redstone engine will get a signal to pull that item out. I saw that somewhere like 2 month ago, didn't use anything like this ever tho. Pneumatic pipes into barrels ftw
