8 works yeah

#

we're monitoring the shulker droppers

analog cape
#

The 9 air is for the dropper there at the selector panel

atomic sun
#

so > 8 air means theres nothing inside

#

in this case, no shulker

timid vessel
#

Ah right, wrong box, sorry I have a problem visualizing things in my head

analog cape
#

So as long as the shulkers always load in the same order. And it's one selector panel sent entirely before the next one, it works

atomic sun
#

yup now the problem is how do we know when a panel is full

analog cape
#

Prot 1-5, then mana Regen 1-3, boost 1-3.

But if it ends up coming in 1-3, then Regen starts, then prot 4,5..

timid vessel
#

Monitor the first?

analog cape
#

You can loop the prisms around instead

#

So instead of a tree along the bottom and up, you go up the first, go over, back down, then back up in the second column

atomic sun
#

this works i suppose

analog cape
#

It's extra projectile distance, but this will be well within the 1500 blocks or whatever

atomic sun
#

ignore the misconfigured cases

#

none of them are actually configured correctly

#

im way too lazy to link it up

analog cape
#

I guess that is 3 more prisms per section though

atomic sun
#

can just use dust

analog cape
#

Or like 5 now that I look at it

atomic sun
analog cape
#

Lectern looking at all 5 and checking for 45 air?

atomic sun
#

this would work but ew

analog cape
#

Half sarcastic answer

#

Prism at the top that just sends it back to the start in case something was slow to update. But probably not going to happen since this is only going to fire as fast as the apparatus finishes crafting

atomic sun
#

if only we had a block that allowed downwards redstone transmission like slabs/glass

#

bedrock has that with glass

analog cape
#

If there's sky access, daylight looking up through it

atomic sun
#

there wont be sky access since we need a prism at the bottom probably

analog cape
#

The half sarcastic answer of looking for 45 air in a lectern might actually work lol

#

Oh true

#

I'm not sure how the air check through a lectern works though, only ever tried it with actual inventories

atomic sun
#

this works

#

but it needs to be flipped the other way lol

#

trivial though

#

just shift all the pistons

#

or make it go one lower

#

and somehow its still 3wABt

analog cape
#

Oh in the original pic, what's the shulker on the front for?

atomic sun
#

for me to remember what to put in the droppers lol

analog cape
#

Alright lol makes sense

atomic sun
#

i thought we were getting rid of the paper back then

#

and we are now

analog cape
#

With them that close, if you have all enchants for that section selected, do they come in in the right order?

atomic sun
#

thought i proved it before

analog cape
#

I mean though not just one tower

#

I thought you had just one set of 5, not two next to each other

atomic sun
#

they dont interfere with each other

#

but if you mean getting the shulkers to the central point then yeah we cant do breadth first anymore

analog cape
#

The prisms are depth first. Yeah I'm meaning getting them to a central reader or unloader or whatever

atomic sun
#

that isnt handled by my selector at all

#

but im guessing turrets would be the easiest way to handle this

atomic sun
# atomic sun

also this doesnt work because the relays are full blocks

analog cape
#

Hmm no enchant goes to 6 right?

#

Vanilla at least

atomic sun
#

this would work but it feels really bad because it expands the footprint

atomic sun
analog cape
#

Could lock the bottom hopper if there's anyone ahead it in line

#

But I don't think that'll quite work

atomic sun
#

im just worried about hoppers being slow

analog cape
#

Dummy item, return order doesn't matter

#

Though that does then require mana access throughout the selector

#

But yeah a regular horizontal hopper line isn't great because you've got 5 hoppers down and only a couple across.. hmm

atomic sun
analog cape
#

Loading into a lectern also isn't great because it's going to be basically breadth first

#

Nice use of grate lol

atomic sun
#

turretss will be projectiletossamplifyamplifyamplify or something

#

might be quite expensive

#

if only we could pull items

analog cape
#

Why'd it have to specify no add-ons....

#

I*

#

Advanced dominion wand, use prisms to redirect interact spells to dynamically add the recipe chest

#

I'll have to use that for something. Not this though

#

Hmmm. Here's a thought. If any in a column are selected, pause the start line that pulses the pistons

#

So protection is queued up, when you start, it sends those 5. But doesn't send the signal to mana Regen's selector until all recipes are back

#

Once the last shulker is returned, and your prism line there goes to 0, pulse the next set

#

For circuit, that would be what, a delay between them, where if the bottom prism pops out, it locks a repeater, preventing it from going through to the next one

#

If nothing was selected, none of those display cases pop the prism out, then after a couple repeaters it would go to the next selection panel.

#

If it did lock, the signal dies, so you'd then need to send a new pulse when the bottom prism retracted indicating all droppers have items again

#

So a vertical section only even activates if everything before it finishes

timid vessel
#

BTW don't forget decelerate 's when trying to time it with a piston

#

Turrets move quick😅

analog cape
#

Lol. Fair. Ideally we won't be firing when anything is in motion. I don't trust timing on servers

#

Return shulkers are only as fast as the apparatus anyway

analog cape
#

I wonder if I could do a flip flop with moving the shulker from a dropper to a dispenser that's aimed away. Lock and unlock the hopper under the dispenser to move it back and forth

#

And then the start line would fire all the dispensers

#

I suppose that's basically what I did before actually.... But I just moved a block back and forth to allow or block the dropper line when the start signal came

#

But that would get you a line of shulkers to break/pickup to pull

#

Hmm. Got a thought. But not at a PC to test. I could mock it up in pocket but I'm pretty sure I'm relying on qc

#

Dropper aimed up into a hopper pointed at a dispenser. Dispenser with a hopper under it aimed back at the dropper.

A bulb is outputing via comparator/repeater to a solid block under that hopper to lock it. Observer facing up with dust on top of it, to pulse when the bulb changes

#

But that observer is next to the dropper, with the dust then being diagonal from the dropper. I don't know that the observer pulse will trigger the dropper though

#

But also I can't use dust there anyway and allow it to tile

#

So that's out

#

Unless I guess if qc would trigger the dropper with it being a solid block instead of dust.

Over 1000 texts lol

#

Wait, that was like 98 texts ago.

#

Hol up, funny time

#

There we are

#

1111, or Eleventy Eleven

#

🤦‍♂️

#

1103

analog cape
#

to the detriment of my health

timid vessel
#

if it helps... for aesthetic reasons at least, if the lectern is directly connected it'll output to the 1st linked pedestal 🤷‍♂️ , probably late to the party on this one but :/

Batching system works

analog cape
#

batching system works perfect. you get a chest of your returned items. and a chest of items extracted from storage networks

timid vessel
#

Neat

analog cape
#

I think I might move to filling batches after the apparatus starts

#

My original plan was to get the queue request, then look up the recipe box, extract a batch. Send the batch to crafting, and send the recipe back to storage

#

But I think it might be better to keep two sets of items for everything. One as the recipe card, one as a batch of materials ready to craft

#

Then when a batch box is empty, it gets filled up

#

The advantage here is I'm 90% sure I could switch entirely to shulkers in an inventory

#

So the recipe and batch storage is then basically 3 repositories each.. and that's it

#

I forgot to check when I did my testing, but I'm pretty sure the batching system here kept the items in the same order

#

Meaning nbt will match for display cases and item frames

#

Of course then I need to go back to dealing with shulker handling... But it also cuts the footprint of the entire compuchanter to about 2x the size of this batcher

#

Hmm. Though I think I'd still run into issues with having a system grab the right recipe automatically... Can't set a filter to match an exact nbt shulker without already having that exact nbt shulker known
