Sorting for noob

[Rozay]

Been awhile since got back in game. Trying to set up a sorter system.

Input>
splits trash/ores>Ores/resign>than to arc cookers.

Output>
Sorting ingots to their selected stackers.

Tired multiple ways but nothing seems to work. Not the best at IC code stuff. I tried computer sorting motherboard but doesn't seem to function as it should.

Question?
The question is dose any one have a link, guide, or video I could watch to get a good general understanding how to get the sorter to tell the difference between two items and output them to the correct chute.

I've got some code here that might help you: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842380619

There's also a video linked in the description (although elsewhere in that playlist there's also ingot sorter set-up too

Basically you need to read the OccupantHash of slot 0 (input), check it against your target item types and then either send a 1 (matched) or 0 (not matched) to the output

OP, can you be more specific about the sorter motherboard issues?

My experience is that they work great, once set up, but selecting the items for the sorter to handle is a bit of a pain, tbh.

It is organized so that item types (ores, ingots, etc) are at the beginning of the list, but everything is in that list, you just have to scroll down far enough to find say, lead ore.

Thank you man, Been racking my brain. I'm not bad with logic chips but that code stuff got me going up walls trying to figure it out lol.

Problem i been running into the sorter motherboard. I can't delete once I add (Unless i delete the sorter).
Example:
I add two on the whitelist.
1-*Ores*
2-*none*

I figured it would push ores (all of them) down a certain one 0 or 1 output. But it always prefers the 1 output. Even if I move those white list around the ore well always go out of the 1 output no matter what.

I haven't tried hash tags or certain ores, but don't want to risk going with it and down near my output stuff (6 machines a lot of chutes) have to completely rebuild because sorter doesn't want to separate iron from gold etc.

I'm not 100% certain I've got what you are trying to do, but i *THINK* you are trying to do the sorter's job for it.

Looking at the sorter, the input slot has an output slot in alignment (call it the left hand slot). Anything NOT in the whitelist will pass through that slot.

Anything IN the whitelist will divert to the out of alignment slot (we'll call it right hand slot).

So, for your example, if you want to grab ores out of the stream, you whitelist ores on that sorter, and all ores will go out the right hand slot, and anything else will go out the left slot.

So, to get ingots into their selected stacker, you'd need to pair a sorter with each stacker and whitelist only the ingot you want in that stacker.

If I misunderstood your issue, please let me know.

So i was over thinking it got it, lol.

No this gives me a much more clear understanding. Thanks man
