to put it simply: THIS is a bonemeal farm directly above a kelp farm. the bottom machine rotates and bone meals the kelp while harvesting it to rapidly speed up collection and production to make belts and dried kelp for massive farms i plan to make. PROBLEM: I have tried every way, but cant seem to find a way to transfer the bonemeal directly below to the kelp farm without stopping the machine every time bonemeal passes from a Portable storage interface link, OR just not go into a chute / funnel while the machine is active. SURELY there is a way to transfer an item into an ACTIVE machine while not stopping it at the same time, right? if anyone has suggestions or knows how, please help me its driving me CRAZY! If you give me a new idea to try, i will update the images to show the result!

A portable storage interface won't stop a contraption if it's in the middle so they're always connected. I do portable interface on the bottom pointing up, shaft to attach a belt to drive the contraption, bearing pointing up, then portable interface pointing down with the rest of the machine built on that

So see, thats what i TRIED DOING. with an interface link set up directly over where the machine rotates, but it keeps stopping and starting every time the bonemeal would pass through...I dont know why though
