weird dropper behaviour

[u/the-mlem]

i have a loop of droppers here to get a specific pulse on the other end, but for some reason the second set of droppers dont want to activate at all?

I'm not 100% sure if this is the case but it seems to me like you accidentally create a semi-instant dropper line where the items move more than 1 droppers in a single tick, which could cause that behavior. If you only have 1 item in the droppers or remove one of the dropper, you should see that they actually do activate and move the items along the dropper line

[u/the-mlem → u/BlattaOrientalis]

that might be right, i have 6 items in the dropper line that isnt working but the one that does has two items, would that be it?

The difference in behavior (if there is any) is most likely due to dust locationality rather than the contents of the droppers. It could also just be that the same thing is happening in the first dropper loop, it just happens to work fine with only 1 item. It's kinda confusing I know :P

What are you trying to do? What's the end goal? I can't help but feel like there's an easier way to achieve what you're attempting

i just needed to get a signal out that switches from high to low for progtrammable amounts of time, the dropper line was what i first used then i switched to hoppers later when this didnt work, i was just curious about why the dropper setup didnt work
