What block can do this?

[_Karver_]

I have an automus activator and i want to make sure it always has a stack of phials in it, but i dont want any more then a stack, what can make it so it always has a stack, never any more never any less, unless the supply runs out.

Translocators.

 

[Strikingwolf]

Translocaters (ninja'd by @Padfoote) or the supplier logistics pipe.

 

[Axylxys]

Railcraft item loaders could do that back in 1.4.7, it should still work.

Translocators.

cant find this block is it in monster do you know?[DOUBLEPOST=1400544743][/DOUBLEPOST]

cant find the translocator block is it in monster do you know?

found the logistic pipe though so either way thanks!

Translocators - as Padfoote and StrikingWolf said - plus an ME Interface autocrafting the desired item for best performance.

Translocaters is not in Monster

Don't quote me on this, but I think that an itemduct with a pneumatic servo could also work. I haven't played with the servos way to much, so I'm not 100% sure.

Nope, that'll only send x amount of items to the inventory on each pull.

In that case, the only possible way that I can think of is ComputerCraft based...

Logistics Pipes as well.

Logistics Pipes as well.

Never really used those myself - is the Request Logistic pipe useful in this case?

Oh, silly me for not knowing

 

[belgabor]

Well, if playing SSP he could just add translocators =)

Rather the Supplier pipe combined with a provider pipe on the inventory with the items

 

[ryter78]

Okay, so there would be a way to get the itemducts to work. Is there an block that can check the contents of an inventory, and then emit a redstone signal depending on the amount in the inventory? (Example: 59 of an item, redstone signal emitted, one item at a time sent in until the item is at a full stack, and the signal turns off, stopping items from traveling in)

Yep - that's it, I got the names wrong. I really need to get to play with that mod more often.[DOUBLEPOST=1400545792][/DOUBLEPOST]And actually - now that I thought about it, there is an easy solution to this one. Fill all other slots with items that the Autonomous Activator will not interact with, then supply it with phials using pneumatic tubes or others.

I can't actually test that out myself now - so I'm not one hundred percent sure it will work, but it should...

Just use cobble and set it to use the item in the first slot only.

Basicly - yeah, that's it!

CC or a comparator, perhaps.
