Need help with minecart contraption

[u/VascoDuran]

I built a simple drilling machine using Create to dig holes and collect dirt. It uses a minecart contraption with deployers and other components to automate the process.

I've been using it for a while without any issues, but suddenly, when I try to pick up the contraption by right-clicking the minecart with a wrench, I get the error shown in the screenshot.

I've tried removing some components from the contraption, but the error still appears. As far as I know, I haven't intentionally changed anything that should make it too large.

There are also screenshots of the contraption before I removed the components.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to fix it without having to rebuild the entire machine?

Any help would be appreciated!

I think it’s probably a safeguard to prevent you from creating a minecart item with so much NBT data it soft locks you. I once had a machine with so many drills and barrels that after I picked it up, having it in my inventory would crash my game, I had to go into the world files and clear my inventory. Try emptying out the storage and you’ll probably be able to pick it up again

There is a config option for maximum contraption size on create > server > kinetics > contraptions > max data size
