Title: Is there a way to extract only 1 of the 2 items in a 1x2 storage drawer via conveyer belts (preferably without brass?)
#Extracting only 1 item from a 1x2 storage drawer

dont think its possible without brass
chrome reef
Yep not possible without brass

I bet you could have two separate drawers one with flint and one with nugs on the belt, then just take from the nugs drawer
chrome reef
that is indeed possible using drawer filtering with funnels. they can do what beard did in their vid on the iron farm

Will try to find that part of the video, thxs. I'm kinda deadlocked out of brass brcause I've yet to find Diamonds or enchanting table and I've never fought blazes without them XD
Even if I try the bucket strategy for portals (which I've also never done)
fierce reef
so I tried to set it up, but I only can get flint now
which is the opposite of what I want XD
I have tunnels too but not sure how to use those because all the items come out 1 at a time, not as a stack

do you know how this works? I tried copying the video but it only pulls 1 item now
I've got a 1x2 drawer with flint and iron
and I'm trying to seperate that into 2 individual drawers
so that I can then ship the iron nuggets off for compacting
or just yoink the iron out and leave the flint if possible
so far all I've managed is the reverse
yoinking out flint and leaving all my iron behind
I even changed it up and am still getting just flint

I might need to mess around in creative testing. hold please
fierce reef
👍 ❤️
chrome reef
mind if you also show me your washer
fierce reef
1 sec started to take it apart to test something, lemme undo it
my testing failed
its turned off right now, but its 2 fans pointing inward for increased speed
it washes the gravel, then whatever is converted is sucked into the 1x2 drawer
chrome reef
brb testing
chrome reef
are the drawers locked btw
fierce reef
no
I figured that wasn't important since its singleplayer
no one will steal my stuff XD
chrome reef
only the item on the face of the draw can go in
fierce reef
ah so if it runs out it can't be replaced?
thats...that would be helpful yes
gimme 2 mins to craft that
I thought it was an anti-theft key
chrome reef
nope. it locks the drawer so only that item can go in.
that's earlygame filtering for you
even when the draw is empty it knows what it can hold when locked
chrome reef
that's probably what it was. I tend to always lock my drawers
fierce reef
so this will stop spitting out just flint?
chrome reef
not sure not experimented with that but both flint and iron nuggets will come out
fierce reef
ok thxs
that may have been my problem
I had 100+ flint
but only 45 iron nuggets
so it was probably going to empty all the flint then iron
just have to keep them both low numbers
so that it constantly "runs out" and switches
chrome reef
not sure how it's handled usually tbh I have not used storage drawers a lot-
I need to use em more often
lock your output drawers too
the one where flint and iron will end up
fierce reef
yeah I will
it works! 🥳

Last Q (for now): Is there a way to automatically empty Basins, or do I need to do that myself?
deep harbor
Just put a funnel on the side (with a filter) to empty it
fierce reef
thx
will wait to do that then since I lack the funnels with a filter. I am happy to manually empty the ingots
the basin can hold a bunch anyway
chrome reef
there is a filter on the basin :D
you can then make it extract onto a belt (pretty sure it extracts only finished products)
once again still in the process of learning myself
chrome reef
awesome! glad it works for you!
deep harbor
Have fun automating
