Logistical Sorter

The Logistical Sorter is a machine added by Mekanism, which can extract items from storage containers (e.g., Chests) and insert them into other storage containers, machines, or pipe systems. As the name suggests, it has an adjustable filter function (see Usage).

Usage


The Logistical Sorter can be used for all storage blocks which have no auto-eject function (such as vanilla Chests) to move items from the inventory into a machine or pipe system.

Filters
Click the "New Filter" button in the GUI.

Select Material Place the desired material in the top left slot to filter.

Only items matching that filter will be allowed to pass, permitting a filtering system.



Slots

 * In the middle the player can configure filters for all kinds of items.


 * If "Single" is enabled, the machine extracts only one unit of item with every machine operation. If the option is disabled, the machine extracts whole stacks of an item.


 * If "RR" is enabled, the extracted the items will be distributed equally to all storage in the connected pipe system.


 * If "Auto" is enabled, the Logistical Sorter extracts all available items automatically without any action by the player or redstone.

Side-buttons

 * The upper-right button opens the upgrade GUI. Only the Muffling Upgrade is available for this machine, which reduces the noise when items are moved.


 * The middle-right button opens the GUI to configure the access rights for the machine.


 * The lower-right button changes the behavior to Redstone:
 * "High" = operates only if a signal is received
 * "Low" = operates only if no signal is received
 * "Disabled" = operates independently from redstone signals
