The Perfect Split - Self Sustaining Kelpinator

[@FusselTeddy0707]

I made a version that's 5 blocks high (if you count the block underneath a comparator, otherwise it's only 4 blocks high), 7 blocks long and 2 blocks wide. It's also tileable and self sustaining. My system needs a perfect input, but that's achieved by a hopper minecart that only starts distributing it's items if it's completely full. It distrubutes the items in 16 modules, so every module burns 1 Kelpblock.

Kelpinator? Really? Careful, Doofensmirtz won't like you coming for his brand. 🤣😂🤣

[@MineTheFab]

If you go back through my videos you’ll see I have made several “inators” - usually when I don’t know what else to call a contraption 😂

@@MineTheFab door was a fantastic character and his tragic story I’d say justified his behavior XD he’s also a fantastic woke character. Phineous and ferb was a fantastic progressive series, especially the pro science stuff, man conservatives would hate that show if it came out today, it also makes the government look bad lol.

Ohh i like it 👍

Why does it become "45/55" when it's filled up? The math sounds wrong if it's deliberately ignoring the alternating signal to fire or release the upwards droppers. Because it's going _from_ 50/50 to 0/100 ?

[@MineTheFab]

Hi😊 You’re not wrong - it ignores or rather blocks the original 50/50 signal, so long as there is 1 kelp block in the hopper … and that means that more kelp blocks will go to the chest - but then, when it has smelted 20 raw kelp, the one kelp block at the top disappear, and it goes back to 50/50 … And testing this over a long period shows that results in the surplus kelp blocks increase with a number fitting the 45/55 split. Hopes that makes sense. 😊

[@obeseelmo5216]

Is there a way to make this so the kelp is always smelted efficiently. If all the kelp coming in was done smelting, and only singular pieces where coming through, the machine would waste the kelp blocks.

[@FusselTeddy0707]

You could easily add a system on top, that only "unlocks" or releases let's say a full hopper of items. Also, you didn't watch the entire video...

As always such a nice contraption. Works really well, hooked it up to a huge kelp farm. What do you recommend to as fuel in the smoker to kickstart the system (type and amount). Thanks in advance!

[@MineTheFab]

Hi 😊 Theoretically it should run just on one Kelp block = 2,5 coal (each burn 8 items) so 3 coal in each should do the trick. If you’re paranoid put 5 pcs in each smoker.

[@TheElevenz]

@@MineTheFab Thanks! Let's see how long it takes to fill a smoker up to 64. The kelp farm is constantly producing, so that shouldn't be an issue.

[@justinschlosser9735]

So good!

I'm having trouble starting the machine after I build it. It seems the hopper is taking out the dried kelp block before the dropper can fire, I think I started it wrong. What's the process for starting it? I see you have multiple buttons and levers on the machine but I am unsure of when to use them.

[@MineTheFab]

Hi 😊 Can I lure you to go to my discord community and see an image of the modified version? This one was changed when Mojang nerfed the bulp, so it was no longer one-tick.
