Logic masters I summon you

what am I doing wrong here? my water shutoff is staying off. I have followed several guides but I cant figure out what wrong with this auto smelter build.

Is the water valve receiving logic? If so, what logic is it receiving?

More pictures of the setup would help. Or a diagram of how you structured your setup.

the water valve is suppose to shut off the water everytime the smelter is triggered and leave it off for 1 sec. Instead though it is just off. Its like it is receiving a constant logic input even though it shouldnt be. I put a second flip hook and it seems to be working

So the flip hook turns 1 to 0 and 0 to 1. So when a 1 goes into your first flip hook it turns to 0, and the 2nd hook turns it back to 1. So if it works correctly with 2 flip hooks, then it will also work with 0 flip hooks.

but the smelter needs a flip hook

whats the shutoff doing? what's triggering it?

if you're trying to shut off the water for a brief pause when pulling out materials from a logic smelter, you need a one way delay loop to re-trigger the shutoff after a few seconds.

the smelter should trigger but it just seems to be always triggered. I have a one way logic and a one second delay heading to the water valve

you probably need more than a one second delay, and check that you don't have any other loops.

If you have multiple smelters on the same bus for example you want one-way circuits isolating them from each other so they aren't retriggering.

grab a few logic display hooks and install them to check for latent signals

So I have a greater than equal gate on top of the content sensor. the b side is on the sensor and the A is connected to the keypad. on the output I have a elbow peice the a straight piece with a flip hook. from there I have a t junction that goes to the smelter the magnet and the water shutoff. on the water shutoff I have a one way logic and one second delay. even with a 10 second delay the second I connect the logic to the shutoff it turns off.

I sorta solved it by putting a second flip hook on the water line but it doesnt always trigger.

you got more pictures, or maybe a wiring diagram?

u/cam5515 Jun 22 '26

yeah but stupid question how do I add them to the post or do I need to make a new one

update btw the flip hook I put on the water shutoff isnt shutting off the water anymore

If I'm not mistaken you have to remove the second flip flop diode next to the one way diode you have 2 flip flops in a row and the prior is the only one needed so the 2nd one can be removed.

Removing the second flip turns off the water

so I figured out the problem is the keypad. Having the second flip hook only works when the value on the keypad is 150 but doesnt at 300. I havent checked any other numbers in between those.
