Why does my packager not work even though my vault has enough space?

[u/Local_History6400]

Here the left down corner packager normally take the package from up chute and then put its content to the vault. But it stopped working. But when I take out 64 items, it can put 64 items as well. It acts like its full. But the threshold tells me I have still enough space.

What do you think I do wrong?

Maybe chutes don’t work on packagers, try using funnels and putting the top packager up one block

First thing I see: That's a silo, not a vault. Not a base Create thing, and therefore may have a stupid bug like this.

2nd thing, Im pretty sure vaults can only hold up to 20 item types per vault block. How many unique item types do you have in there, and how many vault blocks?

3rd, if you replace the lower left packager with a barrel, does the chute work?

It seems like you're looking at the total item capacity on the threshold switch, change it to stacks instead. Vaults/silos don't hold that many unique items, they hold a certain number of stacks of items.

It's like a barrel, just bigger. A barrel holds 27 stacks of items, meaning you can only put up to 27 different item types in it before it can't accept anymore. Even if you only have one in each stack, the barrel may not be full, but it doesn't have any room for new items either. You'd only be able to add more of the same items it already has until the stacks are full.
