Break Multi-Item Sorting System

[Small-Ku]

This mod is excellent for me to build a minecart system for travelling. I built an item categorisor in a server with this mod. It seems that it breaks the full minecart detection in the system. The hopper appears unable to pull items from the hopper minecart, which is too fast.

Hey @Small-Ku

thanks for this issue! I think I know why this happens, because the algorithm does not look below the rail pieces. Checking below every rail piece would increase the calculation cost for the allowed speed a lot so I'm hesitant to code this in. Nobody wants laggy servers.

Can you try replacing most of the powered rails with normal Rails? It goes this fast because there are so many powered rails, which is not necessary.

Another option would be placing an activator rail or a detector rail to slow down the cart. Because the algorithm does check for activator and detector rails upfront and slows down for them. But there's a high chance that this will interfere with your sorting machine.

EDIT FROM THE FUTURE: My mod only minimally increases speed of Carts with Hoppers and Carts with Chests, so it shouldn't break Sorting Machines.

Thank you for your advice! I could not remove more powered rails because the hopper is too close to the minecart loader. It works after replacing some blocks with slabs and some rails with activator rails near the hopper. I could close this issue now.

@Small-Ku So I tested this myself more now and I remembered that my mod only increases speed a lot for minecarts with entities in them. For Minecarts with Hoppers and Minecarts with Chests (and Empty Minecarts) the speed is only increased from 8m/s to 9.2m/s so I'm actually wondering why your Sorting Machine broke.

I tested some hopper configurations and they all worked.

Did you have some other mod as well that increased minecart speed installed?
