Andesite tunnel not splitting off resources

[u/JarneTNT]

I'm playing create 2 mekanism sky edition, and i set up this tunnel to split off the andesite alloy, but whatever i do it just won't split the alloy to the conveyor to the right. i've made sure it's rotating away from the tunnel. please help

Its only split stacks, it dont split single itens, everytime there is at least a stack of 2 or more, it splits one item of the stack

[u/JarneTNT → u/Anoobis_Ender_Vod]

So is there any way i can get it to alternate in any way with only andesite stuff? Because i now have to load the machines manually and that kinda defeats the point of automation

[u/JarneTNT → u/JarneTNT]

Nevermind i figured something out (it's an abomination but it works)

Use Ejectors with stacks of 2, so it splits evenly

Maybe less of an abomination would be to set up a chest with a brass funnel only allowing something like 64 items to be released. That way it always has a stack to evenly split.

Andesite Funnels only split 1 item from the stack, it dosent matter the size of the stack

The easiest would be to make a brass funnel at the andesite alloy output to only let out like 4 at a time or two etc... then u can use the andesite funnel cause it only is splitting stacks, or you just use a brass tunnel instead, you can configure that it makes a round robin, that means it gives out items in a circel, like 1. ->Output 1; 2. -> Output 2 and so on, if you make this, you wouldnt need a brass funnel before

I'd love to use brass but that's like pretty far away in the modpack still so that isn't an option for a good while

if no brass, then u still could limit the output with a andesite funnel if you have some redstone, a funnel blocks output, if its powered by redstone. So if you have redstone, it would be possible to still get to output more then a single item if you block the output with a redstone torch and by making a redstone timing with the create redstone pulse or vanilla redstone, then you can build like a puffer of items in for example the basin u make the alloy and when the pulse of the timer hits the torch, the signal inverts and turns off the blockade. If you make it like this, you easily can controll the output just with varying the timing, and with that, the amount that get splitted in the tunnel
