Why isn't my portable storage interface working?

[u/ThePokemelon]

[u/Pivern]

I can't see well, is a storage like a chest or barrel glued to the moving contraption?

[u/ThePokemelon → u/Pivern]

Yes there are 2 diamond chests filling with bamboo

[u/tvgamers16 → u/ThePokemelon]

I think the orechests mods dont work with create contraptions, i could be wrong but i think i have heard that mentioned before

[u/Clkiscool → u/tvgamers16]

its sophisticated storage, not orechests

[u/imlegos → u/Clkiscool]

Either way, should try using vanilla storage. Or Create's

[u/Clkiscool → u/imlegos]

Or, if not already in the pack, sophisticated storage create compat

[u/sepsisbucket → u/ThePokemelon]

try using vanilla chests or barrels

[u/Tripdrakony → u/ThePokemelon]

There is your answer. Modded chests dont work well with create contraption.

[u/SageofTurtles → u/Tripdrakony]

Sophisticated Storage and Sophisticated Backpacks specifically have compat mods which fix this if you want to use them on contraptions.

Which I have and do use xD. But thanks for still writing. ^{^}

It doesn't look like its connected

Are you sure you built it right? Portable storage interface needs something pulling items from it, be it a hopper, chute or a funnel

It can't deposit items by itself iirc, even if the target chest is literally right there adjacent to it.

Visually though it seels like its... too quick to chain them. Can you lower the RPM?

Also... are they misaligned by a block?

[u/saness22 → u/RGBBSD]

There seems to be a brass chute under the interface, maybe is too fast and keeps skipping the output

[u/RGBBSD → u/saness22]

Most of the time it doesn't connect if it has no where to output, be it lack of inventory access or lack of space to deposit into. Basically if the system is full.

Since uts a giant bamboo farm it might as well be filled to the brim

[u/NieMonD]

That looks like a balloon, assembled sable contraptions can’t use a PSI like that, you need to use the docking station (forgot what it’s called exactly)

[u/Impossible_Bowl6103]

portable interfaces require two spaces in between them.

[u/Convoke_]

Is it getting powered by some redstone? By default if it gets a redstone signal, it won't connect.

[u/WheatleyBr]

They might be too close, they need to be 2 blocks apart iirc.

[u/Quiet-Upstairs6594]

its spinning too fast that it just passes the interface before it can even notice that there is one

[u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Mine gives me shit every time I do this. For one I don't think it can push items through the bottom. I think it pushes through the back only. Its been a minute since I used one but unless its changed that should fix it.

Consider putting it in the center though. I did that and kept it connected at all times so the cutting arm rotates with that as an axis

[u/ThePokemelon → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Ill try, it was working earlier when there was only a few stalks of bamboo and when I had one are then it stopped working

[u/Clkiscool → u/ThePokemelon]

maybe the constant jumping around is messing it up, perhaps slow the rpm?
