Auto-Collect Parachest

[Dimitriye98]

Is there any way to automatically collect the parachest after landing? When I use a block breaker the contents, including items (I don't really care about the fuel) are destroyed, and AE import buses don't seem to work.

You mean from Galacticraft? There is no good way to automate anything from that mod, even the machines require crazy stunts to auto-feed. That mod is not a teamplayer at all.

Have you tried using a Transition Plane from AE. It should break the chest and suck up the items.

I managed to do this with a combination of the block breaker and the transition plane.

 

The thing is, if the parachest is picked up by a block breaker, it dropps it's contents, these can then be picked up by the transition plane (fuel is lost in this process)

 

how to build:

put a transition plane to the bottom where the chest lands (face up)

place a block breaker at one side (facing the chest when it lands)

build a cylinder 5-6 blocks high with 1 block air in the middle so the items can't spread to other blocks

 

don't forget to connect inventorys / AE to the block breaker / transition plane
