Okay, the sorter/ejector is working. You had a couple of very subtle configuration issues. All pearls are now ejected into the void and everything that is not a pearl goes into a chest.Flash wrote:Any hopper experts willing to help me out at the Enderman farm?
I've tried to duplicate the Pearl sorter from the last map but for some reason only half of the pearls are going the right direction. Really driving me crazy that I can't figure it out, and we're overflowing with pearls.
That said, unless hoppers work differently in The End, somebody has changed some code. On previous maps the filter hopper had to be preloaded with 22 items. The 23rd item turned on the comparator, redstone juice flowed, the hopper below the filter opened up and the 23rd item went into the chest, redstone juice stopped and the system was back to a static condition. On this map, the preload only needs to be 5 items and the 6th item starts the process. Which at least for my OCD makes more sense. 5 slots -> 5 item preload. Where they got 22 from I have no idea.
Note that on very high volumes through a sorter, the filter can get messed up. (Regardless of mob being processed.) This is due to inherent delays in hoppers and redstone components. They are fast, but not instantaneous. So you'll find items passing through the filter that shouldn't and vice versa. When this happens simply reset the filter preload and all will be well again. If this becomes too big of an issue you could build a delay in between the collection hoppers and the filter hoppers with a dispenser and a clock circuit to slow the process down.
