[1.7.10] Logistical Sorter should prefer larger stacks
EgbertW opened this issue ยท 1 comments
The logistical sorter will send out items based on their position on the filter list, not based on stack size. I have ingots trickling in from a smelting factory, and because the ingot* filter is above, for example, a filter sending gravel elsewhere, when a bunch of gravel comes up, this will directly fill the inventory and leave one spot open for the trickling ingots that are always send out first. This can easily clog a sorting system.
I think it would be nice if the sorter had a preference for larger stacks of items, or, alternatively, have a timer that prefers to send out items that have been in the inventory longer / leaves stacks for a couple of seconds to grow if there's also other items to send out.
At this moment I am able to configure a minimum stack size, but not for OreDict-filters, only for item filters, so that doesn't really help unless I want to add a huge amount of filters for each type of ingot.
