But chances are you’re just doing it wrong

wary vortex
#

Im not

#

my quad cram has 215 pellets on 2 then 218 and 212

#

meaning that the cram is REGISTERING THEM WRONG

#

you are placing the packers wrong

wary vortex
#

otherwise the 2 barrels wouldnt be balanced

#

but i am using rotational symmetry

#

even if placing them wrong, rotational symmetry should mean that the cram is balanced

arctic stone
#

its just that you have set up the packers to connect to both barrels

wary vortex
#

anyways

#

hu?

#

huh?

arctic stone
#

remove all but one barrel via shift + delete

#

then ctrl + z until all are back, look at the one you left untouched, if it has more pellets, it means one or more packer is connected to multiple firing pieces

Easiest way to find out if you have packer sharing is probably post screenshots of your tetris layers in #help-channel

Easiest way to find out where you have packer sharing is to look at it

#

The if is already taken care of by them being uneven

wary vortex
#

but it doesnt explain that i have multiple ms of difference

#

No it explains it perfectly

#

A packer can’t be connected to multiple firing pieces at the same time, only pellets can

#

You have multiple packers touching connected to 2 or more of the firing pieces

#

This isn’t an issue with crams, it’s an issue with how you built your cram

There’s likely an asymmetry in pellets and compactors. If you made the gun entirely out of a single type of pellet, it might be symmetrical.

#

it can be perfectly symmetrical and still do this. if a packer is touching the connector snakes for two different firing pieces, one of them will claim the packer

#

Just separate each cram barrel's tetris from the others by a wall of metal, this also makes your turret a little tougher

#

but also makes the unwanted cross-connection issue definitevely go away

#

wtf no

#

That ruins the efficiency of the gun
