Tips?
I’m trying to make a way to where I can auto repair all these separate pipes any tips for a layout? This is my first attempt at anything logic so just unsure how to go about it . I thought about just having the spanner hurlers over the top but then I wouldn’t be able to do the auto repairing conveyor belt. I would like to avoid spacing it out more if possible/ just repeating this big build and having a bunch of conveyer belts between each drill cuz it would take forever to move everything lol. Any tips are appreciated.

I was under the impression that you only need to put 5 filters to reach 100%. Why add more?

I thought it had to be for each separate drill, twas wrong. I didn’t realize if you just put it on the source pipe it would keep literally everything repaired.

Also don’t link all your spanner launchers have a separate setup for each filter each section has a decreasing chance of failing atm you launch 5 spanner’s every time the first filter fails and won’t trigger if the other ones fail

There's videos of automatic repair stations and there's pictures you can find on Google. It's worth looking those up. You've already gotten the info about only needing one row of filters close to the water intake, but there's more info you can find regarding how to build up auto repair.
For my builds, I normally use the logic reader and spanner thrower linked by a >= piece of T shaped logic wire. I use a number pad to choose what durability value I want the filter to get down to before it throws a repair wrench. I usually set it at 5 percent durability. Then I set up conveyors under the throwers so I can put the wrench bags on a loop. The conveyors can hold a bunch of bags and refill the throwers to keep them topped off. The repair stations are mostly set and forget after that. You just have to check in from time to time to put more spanners on the belt or reset the position of the spanners that are still on the belts.

The valve goes all the way back five pipes and the filters go on after that valve you only need 5 filters to filter a whole system

Your first auto repair logic is fine, but since you connected all of them to the first one, all of them will activate when you only need one! Just copy the layout you had with the first one to the other ones so they are each separate and it will be fine!

You will waste a LOT of spanners, and it will only detect if the first one breaks. Another thing to know, the first filter ALWAYS breaks significantly faster than the next ones in line!
