Blaze Powder farm/regulator question.

So wait....sorting machines remotely pull items like a retriever? Hmmm, I've always pushed stuff into the sorting machines with fiters. I'll definitely have to try that out tomorrow. -

So I have tried running the machine for a bit, but I don't think the Sorting Machines know how to deal with either stacks of items, or the same item going to different colours. i.e two Blaze Powder set to Orange, and three set to White. The Sorting Machine is set to ''Allstack Sequential: The sliders moves from column to column and waits until it receives all the items in that column before moving to the next.'' I'd very much like to avoid BC pipes, so a diamond pipe is out of the question. -

Okay so I made a similar system on the other side of the room, this time incorporating a sorting system. So far I have only put in one Blaze Rod, but the resultant Blaze Powder is just bouncing between to the Filter that pulled it out and the Sorting Machine. I'm going to assume a Sorting Machine cannot split stacks? If this is the case, I will have to put 10 to go the orange route, and 15 to go the white route I think. Pic: I forsee I may have a problem when the machine gets to full capacity. There's 14 Macerators and take about a half second to macerate one rod, so that's 70 powder every 0.5 assuming that's how long it takes. 2/5 of that is 28, so a condenser must be able to condense 28 Blaze Powder in o.5 seconds, which will probably never happen on any server. I don't know what condensing speed it supposed to be when there's no lag at all. I don't play SSP. If too much Blaze Powder does get through, I can just add a second Blaze Rod condenser and split the 5 output powder as 5/5/15? (1:1:3) -

Alrighty, I'll try out the sorting machine idea. Thanks. :) -

Thanks for the purge command, it worked. Also thanks for the suggestion of keeping a Density gem in a chest. Now I only need the 1 chest there rather than an array. However I'm still none the wiser about regulators. XD I am pretty proficient with most other things within redpower. I have a fully operational sorting system using all filters and what-not. So I have a good understanding of them. Within my pic, where would I place the regulator(s) so it keeps x amount of blaze rods in the three middle condensers? What would I place in what slots inside the Regulators GUI? Also can they be placed instead of a Filter, or do I still need the Filter there? Do Regulators need a redstone pulse if there's no Filter? In the picture, the Filters under the middle chests pull out 32 blaze rods every pulse when there's room in the Macerators. The filters behind pull out 16 Blaze Powder per pulse. I put these here to try and un-clog the middle chests and prevent them from filling up completely of Blaze Powder. Thinking of repeating this machine on the other side of the room, but I wanna get the design perfect before I do this. -
Hi, I built a blaze powder farm which macerates a ton of blaze rods into blaze powder. I'm sure most are familiar with this, so I wont explain it any more. I'm having a problem or two with it, and I want to automate it a little more. For a reference, here's a pic of it: The three chests in the middle condense blaze powder into blaze rods which get sent back to the macerators. The top chests condense any leftover Blaze Powder into Red Matter. My problem is, sometimes the middle chests can fill completely with Blaze Powder leaving no room for the condenser to make blaze rods. What I think would be a good idea is if there was a way to keep at least 1 Blaze Rod in each condenser to allow for condensing to happen so I don't have to manually do stuff to un-clog the system. I think a Regulator would allow me to do this, but I have no idea how a Regulator works. I've never used one and the redpower wiki just confuses me. Also with the Condensers on the top, I keep 2 rows of just 1 RM in each spot, again so there's room to condense Powder into RM. I think I would like a similar system as above to keep just 1 RM in the condenser at all times and output all surplus RM. On a completely unrelated note, is there a way to remove all protections made by a single player? A place was griefed on a server I am staff on, and the guy placed Furnaces everywhere, they were all rolled back but the protections remained on those blocks. So any block placed where a furnace was, even cobble, gets locked to the guy who griefed.
