    Hi,

    How can I make the Autonomous activator output the mined cobblestone into a JABBA barrel? The barrel is sitting on the orange output of the activator and the activator is breaking blocks. The problem is that it's just spewing the cobble blocks all over the place instead of putting them into the barrel.
    The barrel has some cobble in it that I manually put in.
    I have also tried connecting the orange output with an item duct (opaque) and connecting that to the barrel. It seems to connect fine, but the activator is still just dropping the blocks on the ground.
    I tried a vanilla chest as well.

    I checked it out in-game to view your set-up and I'll start off saying it's definitely new. (; Normally people go with Igneous Extruders quickly but yours is different.

    The problem is that the Autonomous Activator wont pick up the mine cobble, like if you were to mine it manually it would drop on the ground until you walked over to pick it up. What I suggest is adding a Vacuum Hopper above the cobblestone and then have itemducts going from that into the barrel.

    The vacuum hopper takes an Obsidian, Enderpearl, and Hopper to make but is quite useful. Sucking in items in a 3x3x3 area around it then outputting in a applied direction.
    Hope it helps,

    What is the exact setup? A classic cobble farm with a terrain smasher?

    Thank you very much for your input :) I'll try that

    Me and my girlfriend with whom I play this island just finished getting the autonomous activator, so we aren't that advanced yet but we'll probably get there sooner or later. I'll also take a look at the extruders in due time :)
