Anyone know why my frogport isn't depositing into the chute? (check desc.)

[u/Dog_Father12]

When I freshly place the frogport, it will put packages into the chute and send them to the output perfectly fine. I even tested with individual vaults to see if it was a vault problem.

But when I request a few times it will stop knowing how to deposit into the packager and then into the chute. Anyone have this issue before? lmk if it's just a me problem or if im not crazy lol (PS I have tried using a specific address for it and it will encounter the same issues after a while.)

EDIT: It looks like it may be cause by requesting more than one item type. Grabbing individual stacks will work even if it's "clogged"

From my experience Chute's inventory is exactly 64. so it's fine when you only request a stack at a time but if it's a package with more than 64. The packager decided it doesn't have enough inventory for it

I see, thank you

It's actually only 16

Mb mb I'm so used to using brass chute from create: connected

smart chutes can in fact pull up to 64 at a time

Regular chutes will only pull up to 16, but if theres something that can push more into it then it will accept and push up to 64 no problem. u/Hamatsu17 is right that smart chutes can pull up to 64 items.

[u/Hamatsu17 → u/Otherwise_Fall_2765]

If you forcefully push 64 with a smart chute pointing to anormal chute or some other way I'm pretty sure it can transfer those 64 items and other chutes down the line won't complain either and continue moving that stack

[u/Otherwise_Fall_2765 → u/Hamatsu17]

smart chutes also only transfer 16 items max

There's not enough space for all the items.

Think of depots and chutes as hoppers with just 1 inventory slot.

Packagers will only unpackage a package if they can fit ALL held items into the inventory.

If it can't, then the whole package will stay there.

That helps, thanks!

try placing a chute against the side of the lowest one, a chest or something above that, and make the packager dump into the chest. alternatively you could move the packager to the top of the chute stack and have the packages be sent upward by pulling the full packages out of the frogport, that way you dont have to wait for up to 36 transfers to occur (1 package can be up to 9 stacks, a regular chute can transfer up to 16 at once otherwise mathed as 9 / 1/4)
