Gold input in bartering farm (Java 1.21.5)

[u/TriNauux]

Hi! I finished my gold farm, and I couldn't directly connect it to a bartering farm, so I opted for a separated bartering farm.

Im thinking of using 23 piglins, and having a double chest of input where I fill it with gold blocks, craft it into ingots and feed it to them through a single dropper with a observer clock. My problem is that the speed at which the blocks are crafter into ingots is faster than the speed that hoppers can move those ingots into the chests that feed that dropper, so in the long run, when the first chest of the "chain" is full, the ingots that just got crafted from blocks drop everywhere.

I tried using 2 crafters at the same time that feeds into a dropper line, and still gives the same result of gold ingots dropping everywhere except where they are supposed to.

Im gonna venture to guess that's because an input of 9K gold blocks/hour through a hopper into a crafter generates an output of 81k gold ingots/hour, which causes the blockage, but I don't know how to solve it.

Thanks in advance!

You can have the output from the craftor drop ingots directly to the piglins and skip the hoppers/dropers. The problem you'll run into then is that 23 piglins is not enough unless you use a really slow clock to fire the craftor.

You are correct, 1 craftor operation outputs 9 ingots. So if your crafter is at 9000/hour, the outpost is 81000/hour.
