#Sorting System

[otherside-wanderer]

Hybrid sorter hub and its three branches - read more about its structure, how it works, and the development process below the cut!

General Structure

For this survival world, my friends and I decided to split up our resources in three different branches, all connected by one central hub. The fourth "branch" is an access hallway (not shown) that contains minecart rail stations. As of now, only one station is built, but the hallway also contains a room where any unsorted items flow out to - this room also contains its own sorter input!

You might notice redstone bulbs in the copper pillars along each hallway - activating these will reveal both a crafting table and stonecutter at the base of the pillar for easy crafting access. Also, the three branches have their own quirks since they were each organized and completed by a different builder - see if you can spot any differences (aside from the items being sorted)!

Redstone & Underbelly

During development, we decided that the sorter didn't need to be fully automatic like our last one - instead, we wanted a way to combine automatic and manual sorting, hence this hybrid design. Only the top rows (and about a dozen barrels in the middle and bottom rows) along each branch leverage automatic sorting - this was to simplify the sorter design and allow for better scalability. This is also why some of our most plentiful items are placed on the top row. We love Minecraft updates, but adding new blocks and items to a sorter can be tough!

Including manual sorting allows us to store unstackables as well as different kinds of items in the same barrel. Although there are some great designs out there for unstackable or multi-item sorters, we wanted this build to be our own and not have to worry about chunk alignment, minecarts, or having to construct it with build assist tools. If you're interested in the redstone for our automatic sorter modules, check out this post about our previous sorter! Our current one applies the concepts in similar ways.

Like our last sorter, @shewholistens has been doing an amazing job standardizing and decorating the Underbelly, which is still in progress. Having all of our sorter modules and hopper lines accessible (and good-looking) is such a boon, especially when doing work behind the scenes. Currently, the Underbelly is accessible via hidden doors at the end of each branch!

Development process

This was a big project. Since building our last sorter, we learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, and decided to carry that knowledge over to this one. In our new world, we put together a document detailing things we wanted in our sorter and how they would all fit together. These included item organization, a hybrid sorting system, input and output chests, crafting access points, a player-friendly underbelly, and - of course - decoration.

This prep work was by far the most important part of the sorter building process, and it allowed us to break the project into small, manageable pieces. It reminded me a lot of the work I do as a software engineer, and it was so exciting to see the sorter get built module by module, branch by branch.

Before I forget - huge thanks to @indigoforiver for convincing me that we needed a sorter! Our chest/shulker monster was... very bad...

My own personal obsession with sorting systems

I'm on a "give SJ a happy ending" agenda where kid SJ reverse transmigrated into the modern world and subsequently gets adopted by kid SY. In this au, SY happens to be an only child who desperately wanted a sibling. He found a feral skrunkly SJ and imprinted on him (right after SJ tried to pickpocket him).

Would probably add more to this au in the future

(more of my "happy beginnings au" : next)

i made a Picrew Doc ^_^

So i've noticed that, although picrew now allows you to favourite picrews that you really like, that still doesn't allow for things like trigger warnings or any description of what might be in it

That's where my Picrew Doc comes in !!!! A sorting system comprised of emojis, any fandom items mentioned, and trigger warnings for things like blood, needles, suicidal imagery, weapons, or even drugs/alcohol !!!

HERE IT IS:

its constantly being updated so bear with me if i make a few mistakes here and there

Seeing clutter in your home could cause stress and might be a sign that your life is out of control. You suddenly realize that you have accumulated a lot of things and are having trouble getting rid of unwanted items in your home. Cleaning and decluttering your home might be difficult for you to handle. However, with residential clean outs in Louetta, TX, it will be much easier to navigate the art of decluttering.

it's kinda wild to see people confidently draw parallels between liu qingge and mu qing 'cuz like. that never happened. those two barely have anything in common except for the fandom deciding that they're similar for some reason???

you know who's actually the TGCF version of liu qingge?

has no qualms about beating you up if you anger or irritate him ✅️

doesn't know how to socialise ✅️

doesn't like most people ✅️

has a complicated history with his shixiong who's attitude towards him changed suddenly and drastically ✅️

possibly wants to fuck his shixiong ✅️

Sneak peak to our hybrid automatic/manual sorting system on our realm!

Mace Windu said fuck the rules fuck the law fuck tradition the Chancellor is a Sith Lord and has made himself an emperor and I’m not going to sit by and let it happen.

Mace Windu said if I do nothing I’d be betraying the democracy I thought I was fighting for this whole time, which means more than the crimes I’ll be charged with when this is over.

And yet people try to praise Anakin or Dooku for “leaving a corrupt system”. As if that was why Anakin left. As if Dooku did anything but make it worse. People praise the Mandalorians for only following their own rules. As if we’ve ever seen the Mandalorians truly stand for anything.

As if we don’t already have the most metal anti-authoritarian, badass character for people to praise.

And yet these parts of the fandom hate him. I wonder why 🤔

"endo safe" with no "anti endos DNI" as in I literally don't care if anti endos interact but you start shit with the others interacting on my posts I will bite back. My posts are a safe place for endogenic systems, and I'll protect my own on my territory.
