Today we take a deep dive on the process I went through when designing the V2 of my autocrafting piston factory!
This factory uses my new 2 wide piston autocrafter that makes 2400/hour per module :D
The factory is also a 1/3 of my first factory size and has even more features! Most importantly being an auto shut off feature if a material is about to run out!
** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE WITH THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE**
In this iteration the auto shut off feature only works per crafting module individually. In the max iteration of this factory I plan to make, this system will be improved. Currently if a crafter auto shuts off, it does not turn all the other auto crafters off and if you try to turn the system off with the UI switch, the crafters that were turned off with turn back on again which isn't the great. However if you want to wait until a better system is developed, I might be able to change this crafters UI and things. However this will take some time and come at a cost of space being added to the whole system.
**ANOTHER NOTE**
When filling the system the first time, I would remove the observers that start the crafter as in testing the auto shut off feature could automatically start the system. So to be safe I would remove this until all material shulkers have been split up. Then you can turn crafter on with regular on/off in UI (More info in the discord, also feel free to ask any questions or troubleshoot in my discord about the crafter) LINK BELOW
**Crafter Features**
- New 2 wide piston crafter sequence

- Auto shut off feature
- Missing material lamp indicators ( DO NOT TURN CRAFTER ON IF ONE OR MORE LAMPS IS ON)
- Singular Input
- Items even split to each crafting module
- Instant on/off switch turns all crafters on/off at same time

- Storage capacity of 4 million crafted pistons (2 million per side)
- Minecart distribution system on/off toggle
- 3 wide mirror tile-able minecart loaders
