@@bobdagranny7431 damm. Hope you can recover the world from the ssd!

The problem you are experiencing is that on powered rails minecarts travel quite slowly, to get the signal to travel at the same speed as the minecart it needs to travel at 8m/s. This can be achieved using a chain of repeaters alternating between 4gt and 6gt every 4 blocks, so with a block between each repeater.

@@cubicmetre ooh that is worth trying out for the players who don't need high speed piston bolts but still want station selection. I used to use a system where you stop for 10s at each station and if you don't get off you keep going, but it was slow at stations and not fully "get in minecart, go grab coffee, come back to be at POI".

me intentionally making default location brazil so that new players learn a lesson to check before they use it. :P

@@twiti888 that’s a very cruel but actually kinda smart idea At least, until some genius gets out of the minecart mid-bolt and leaves their minecart in unloaded chunks lol

@@Enno707 Jira itself has problems.

ah I'm proud of that one

@@RuthroAlt ​ @Ruthro :o he responded to me, love your work

unfortunately it's not just stacked carts, it's the interaction between carts and detector rails in general

@@RuthroAlt that is truely weird yeah, hope it gets sorted out for 1.19 release!

An alternative solution is to use a grid for more scalable routing

We have implemented this fix on wavetechs pistonbolt network already, its rather annoying because we were expecting it to be fixed but apparently Mojang decided to instead make the problem even worse.

We've been to brazil, in the quarry sorter video.

If I remember he said when you ride to leave the place you click a button to have them sent after you so their just a bit behind or in front of you

This boat method while simple is also very inefficient. A chunk loading ticket can last 15s but the boat spams them much faster. For larger chunk loading grids you will want more efficient and sophisticated chunk loaders.

@@cubicmetre well I thought about using the boat method because if you dispense the boat in the nether it quickly travels back from the overworld to make the chunks on the way of the pistonbolt entity processing. Every other method should work just fine, you just need to have a fast response from the overworld. And the problem with the boatspam should be negligible considering that you only need to activate every portal once. But I guess you can't even dispense boats in the nether because you need water infront of the dispenser for that to work (if I remember correctly, it's quite a few month since I played minecraft the last time, had to learn for exams...)

There's a simple fix for that weird behavior. Have the detector rail one block earlier

that's how it determines the destination yes

@@RuthroAlt that’s such a cool design, I never would have guessed that’s how it worked until Cubic said the stations could be inserted from a schematic without changing them

@@RuthroAlt Not a minecrafter, but I just watch some videos. But im wondering, is there a limit to the number of junctions, if we keep subtracting the comparator signal to 0?

@@oyashi7 15 destinations per bolt yes, should be more than enough

they're more effort to build, and the only advantage they have is that you can take a more direct route to your destination, making it faster. but speed isn't really that important when it's main purpose is to transport items in extremely large quantities. which you don't do that often, certainly not to a destination that is more than a 1000 blocks (nether coords) away

@@RuthroAlt additionally, making stacked compatible diagonal bolts is rather difficult.

@@RuthroAlt If it's main purpose is to transport large quantities of items, does that mean that there's a different system for player-only transportation, or is the piston bolt network also used for that too?

@@readingchameleon it can do both, the focus is just on item transport

we're still on 1.17

@@RuthroAlt :) we like that...

I believe that for bulk transportation boats aren't any faster than minecarts

Its way faster. Around 3x as fast as bolts. But especially for long distances many prefer to afk on a piston bolt and come back a few min later then to manually ride a boat for a couple of min. Bolts are really good for item transport tho... and are just much cooler

@@a11y93I don't understand how you're not seeing how it is impractical to use boats on ice for industrial purposes. A bolt can transport 9 minecart chests at the same time, a player can't ride 9 boats at the same time. You have to put boats inside of minecarts and use a piston bolt, in other words for transporting bulk items boats aren't any faster. Unless you don't care about moving more than an inventory of items, then in that case the boat is faster than a minecart, but an ender pearl cannon can easily beat that. In other words, when it's about bulk trasportation, the boat can only improve the loading/unloading times, but there's no speed change

@@GregFRDT bruh..

And i know that christopher didn't specify that he's talking about industrial purposes, but the fact that he cares about loading/unloading times with hoppers makes it look like it. If it was for private use then most people would just move things out of the boat using their inventory instead of using hoppers

This is unneccessary however, we have barely used half of the piston bolts capacity.

I'd probably be forced to space the bolts apart more to have extra space for wiring, but it should be doable yes the selection might be a bit awkward though. that being said we have plenty of slots atm, so I see no need

Its also quite annoying tho that you need to travel back to hub to travel to another location. Another technical smp has this great idea to make it “infinite”, and not limited to 15 destinations. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab-qeKecqtDKqH0.html There is a limitation with this tho, you need a station to recharge your comparator. (More details on the video and this comment) Also watching this video made by Cubicmetre made me think Ruthro’s pistonbolt network is also a little bit similar with the neural bolt (yt link). As Cubicmetre demonstrated Ruthro’s junction, you simply paste in the junction, no configuration of the composter whatsoever, and the junction is already integrated within the pistonbolt network. Right after you have built the junction you can use it already. So that made me think that, in the hub, the bolt (comparator) is assigned with a value, then each time you pass a junction, that value is decreased by 1. Until then that the value in the pistonbolt reaches zero, and at the same time, you arrive at a junction, you are redirected to that junction because you have zero signal strength. I would have to examine the world download to confirm it, but I’m pretty sure thats what they used here to automatically integrate a junction to the network. Talking about its application in Wavetech, it is not neccessary because they always transport items in their central storage

Apparently stacked carts do not like diagonal bolts.

@@cubicmetre Ah, too bad :( though it's still a very useful bulk transport design. I hope I get the time to implement it somewhere soon :)

Updated

oh hey brittank

brittank????? absolute chad holy shit

@@cubicmetre Ayy thank you, fellow aussie!

Maybe uninstall carpet for the update, then reinstall. I have a fabric server with lithium and other mods as well and had no problem updating, but I don't have carpet installed.

If i recall correctly Covenant_Ccs mentions his stacking raid farm is equivalent to 25x witch huts. But search for his video, I might be wrong.

By using comparators in both sides of the piston bolt you can multiply the options by 16 and obtain 256 stations. However you would need to modify the stations to also read from both sides. This may be excessive however as on wavetech we have yet to approach using all 16 stations on any of our bolts.

You are correct. The only explanation I can think of is that inventory-synching is clearly an unintentional feature that Mojang tried to patch last time, so it is possible they don’t want to build infrastructure for something that is likely to be patched out of the game.

The problem with using item shadowing for transporting shulker boxes is that they do not stack. When you transfer items with item shadowing you need to use a stackable item because you can modify the amount of items in the stack without breaking the link. With shulker boxes however you only get one item and so the link breaks the instant you try to transfer the item.

@@cubicmetre also pretty inconvenient imo (if it would work with shulkers)

@@cubicmetre in that case, why not have a very high speed hopper-minecart array and load the shulker boxes on the storage's end?

The problem is when you try and turn corners.

@@cubicmetre no cubic demibolt makes this whole thing like a million times easier I wanna cry

@@cubicmetre making the turns stacked compatible is trivial. The ones i showed in my video were to demonstrate the flexibility and ease of design that the demibolt offers. I should have shown a stack compatible transition in the video, so that is my mistake.

@@inspectortalon :hypers:

Update: I actuall can reproduce this. Seems to be based on what the direction comes from too. When it goes into one specific direction but comes from another specific direction does it not happen at all... Probs a wrong calculation in Java... Either way, found one of the most simple fixes for this... So no excuse there to not update
