Hi,

after a bunch of CC, IC and BC I thought it was time for something else. So I figured out how to build an automated tree farm using Steve's Carts. The track's allright, the cart's cutting down trees, but...

The cart picks up the saplings I put into the cargo manager. He won't, however, pick up the fertilizer and fuel I put in there, and he won't drop the wood, apples and saplings either. I've got the green side of the cargo manager at the detector rail. The setup of the manager is currently as following:

green: 'storage slots' from cart to manager
red: 'saplings' from manager to cart
yellow: 'engine' from manager to cart
blue: 'fertilizer' from manager to cart

Anyone who can tell me how to get my cart to put the wood into the manager? I've tried shifting the colors and stuff like that, but it won't work...

The manager has 4 colour coded sides. The side on which the cart is passing by, ALL the colours must be set to that colour for the cart to interact with it

Also for fertilizer you send to fertilizer not cart...keep cycling through the options.

Also you need the blue tracks labeled advanced detector rail for each side you want it to stop at.

Set all the 4 inventory/action areas to the same colour, the cart will then process each area in turn. So unload everything first, then fill up on saplings, then fert, then fuel.
