Sorting

[Mageleon3860]

i'm having a bit of problems filtering my ores and stuff from my actual sorting line i wanna filter out the following

• Tin ore
  
• Iron ore
  
• copper ore
  
• gold ore
  
• silver ore
  
• nether tin
  
• nether iron
  
• nether copper
  
• nether gold
  
• nether silver
  
• nether redstone
  
• nether lapis
  
• nether diamond
  
• tin, iron, copper, silver and gold dust.
  
• Raw carbon mesh, mixed metal ingot
  
• and uranium
  

But how can i filter them without actually using a filter?

* Example: Chest -> filter -> tube -> sorter -> chest *

but with the ores i wanna

* Example: Chest -> filter -> tube -> macerator/furnace/compressor -> sorter -> chest*

Any ideas?

sorting machine. tag all the stuff in the list one color and have one tube go off to storage.

i am doing that at the moment but the buffer back logs and the dust/ingot has no were to go.

well, are you using a single macerator or a bank of them? You can use maybe 3-4 macerators and have a buffer in line before each and then feed the entire bank on the same colored tube and it should flow.

Yep i got 3 Rotary macerators 3 induction furnace 3 singlarity compressors and what ever the extractor is.

but everytime there is something in those machines the sorter stops actually sorting which is weird because if cobblestone is in the buffer that dosn't need to go to the machines but after the machines are empty the cobblestone goes to the next sorter.

a sorter only stops sending items if there is no longer a valid destination. without a pic of your setup I cannot tell you more.

has i said the cobblestone does have somewere to go the next buffer but it dosn't move till the machines is empty even though it dosn't belong in a machine

[Lothos]

clearly the sorter is not seeing that way.

Yeah i've sfixed it but my basement is extremely messy now... there is probably a easy sollution but i didn't though.

Just added a seperate buffer/sorter for the ingots and dusts

Try using a buffer, either type would work, but I think the rp version is the one that will automatically spit things out into adjacent inventories which would simplify things.

Yes, Exactly what i did.

Kinda working but i need ores to test haha.

Thanks you two.
