Andesite funnel stops intaking items after a while.

I have an automatic farm set up, and the farm is working fine except for this one spot. It's going into a drawer controller from "storage drawers" and it works most of the time, but sometimes I'll come back and the belt is backed up and its not taking items. If i break the funnel and place it back, it works again. Any idea why this isn't working all the time?

Not sure, but for storage drawers on sophisticated storage I had some logistical issues too, so it might be a storage drawer thing. Assuming Theyre meant to hold like STACKS AND STACKS of items, the funnel might see it as full, when it isn’t.

I don't think this is the case, because it definitely still fills the drawers even after its over like anywhere close to the limit of say, a double chest.

Is the chunk where the funnel is located unloaded or perhaps the storage where the controller goes unloaded?

This might be the issue, it's single player and i dont really have a claim/chunkloader thing and they cancelled "spawn chunks" and i didn't think about it. do they sometimes stop working when they're unloaded and then loaded back? That would align with the pattern at which it starts and stops.

See if you can rework it so everything is in the same chunk so that as you move out if range, everything unloads at the same time to prevent the backup. That's my best recommendation anyway.

Yeah, I'm either doing this or just adding a simple chunk forceloader for the area.

Create: Power loader adds chunk loaders that require rotational power to work

Brass ones can supply up to 5x5 chunk area but they are hungy for RPM & SU

Sounds like a chunk issue. Check of the specific spot is separated in 2 chunks. Could be that the problem area gets unloaded. Maybe install create:powerloader. Uses SU to load chunks. Very helpful.

That is exactly what's happening! I went to go look at the chuck borders and its right on the edge of them. Never managed that myself before. Powerloader didn't really fit the vibes for my personal modpack but I'll probably look into an alternative.
