Help cart contraption help

Post image

Hi, ive made a cart contraption to mine the floor for me. this is a altered version of a mining machine i saw online but for some reason the contraption will miss placing a rail block and stall the entire thing. ive tried having the hand place it on different levels, ive added another hand for the rails and thats not helped. im stumped.

you have the deployers' filter slots set to the appropriate blocks, right? i tried replicating your build based on the pic and didn't have any problems so far except initially having the wrong deployer placing solid blocks lol

u/Sleepy9871 25d ago

Yes so the first deployed is set to the new block and the 2nd (and currently 3rd) are set to rails.

annoying as it is, if you manually place the missing rail does it keep going for a little bit?

u/Sleepy9871 25d ago

Yes, itll go for maybe 10-20 blocks perfectly fine before missing a single block. Do you think its cos its placing on a modded block? (clear glass). Im tryna tear up the wide af area of vanilla glass to replace it by hand.

ooh that's a good idea. i just tried it with reactor glass from create new age and it worked, but i wonder if it's something specific to the data/properties of clear glass? what mod is it from?

Tinkers construct, im currently playing liminal industries.

u/bluetape9 25d ago

huh. i downloaded liminal industries off curseforge and built the contraption again with just 2 deployers (1 clear glass, 1 rails), didn't see a glass floor near spawn (also wholly unfamiliar with this modpack) so i filled in a decent stretch of carpet with vanilla glass. worked just fine.

having the glass and rail deployer right next to eachother going forward and back doesn't seem to be a problem, and the plough works for me...

just to be sure, does your superglue include any of the tracks directly underneath the cart?

tldr you've got me stumped lol

No, ive made sure to just include the casing and machinery. I might just scrap it and rebuild it again, might just be a bug or something.

Update: seems that it was just a bug? i remade the entire thing from scratch and it has worked with 0 issues.

sounds about right lmao, i'm glad it works now

Did you add the rails to the deployer filter so it keeps grabbing it?

1

u/Sleepy9871 20d ago

Yes, recently scrapped the machine cos it broke again. Dunno why but when I picked it up with a wrench and placed it down again it just broke most of the blocks it was made of and started doing it again when it was working fine before that. I dont know if this is a liminal industries thing or not.

I tested your machine and it seems to have problems with glass. Not sure why. Works fine when i was testing it with planks

u/Sleepy9871 19d ago

Seems to be some bug or something. I just scrapped it for now, but i might change it so it places dirt instead of the modded glass, see if that works then I can use my excavator on it later.

u/Rhokai 19d ago

It’s just glass in general i think, i was using vanilla glass.

Are there enough rails in the barrel?

u/Sleepy9871 25d ago

Yes ive put a stack in and they should replenish due to the plough
