A tiny box sorterDefinition: A Box Sorter is a contraption that takes in boxes of a single item-type, takes the first item out and assigns the box to a storage Slice that matches the filter of that item. designed for farm storages which locks hoppers in-sliceDefinition: A repeatable ( Preferably tileable ) component within a system..
Features
24gtDefinition: Minecraft iteratively runs its processing code in a loop. One cycle of this loop is called a Tick or Gametick (gt). Gameticks are also used as the default measurement of time while working with re... box throughput
LocalDefinition: Annotates if a signal comes from a global system ( a 'brain' ), or from within a Slice. For example, one global clock could send signals to 8 slices on an interval, or all 8 slices could have their... locking of uncovered hoppers in-slice, no global logic requiring AB tiling.
Fully random input proof
1-wide overhang keygenDefinition: Usually part of a Box Sorter, a keygen is a contraption that takes one item out of a box, breaks it and sends the item and sends one through one hopper or Dropperline and the other through another ...
Lag optimized: only fires pistons when necessary
Considerations
Buffers two boxes in each slice. This makes it unsuitable for main storage systems.
Relatively slow
Not 100% hopperlockedDefinition: Hopper-locking powers inactive hoppers with redstone to prevent them from doing anything, reducing lag. Because a locked hopper can’t move items, it can skip several expensive checks each tick and ... (but can be)
Notes
Tested for 770k boxes at random intervals (1000 random tick speed, see attached testing schem).
