Storage Drawers are pointless

[Auseawesome]

They are categorically worse than a standard crate or create vault. By every metric, this makes no sense.

They should have stack capacity upped to 24 or 32 stacks, especially since they are harder to get.

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

auseawesome they have the advantage of drawer controllers and also inbuilt filtering

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

you can just use a ton of vaults and then not need to filter though?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

there are plenty of situations where having a filtered storage can be handy

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

in automation setups

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

e.g. sorting with pipes

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

smart filters are so much cheaper

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

*funnels etc

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

cost isn't really a concern

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

I never really find myself using drawers as filters

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

and making their only use a filter seems a bit meh

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

also the drawer controller

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

that thing is really good for some uses

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

what uses?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

except item teleportation which I thought you wanted to get rid of like in 'Why are ME import buses disabled?'

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

well for one, indexing lots of seperate products

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

it's very short range

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

wheras me systems are literally infinite range

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

at the point you get enough cables

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

that you can do that

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

there's almost no use

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

you've got infinite orange pipes

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

a ton of belts

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

create stress easily by just placing a waterwheel down

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

I'm not saying that some of what can happen isn't slightly problematic

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

but the drawback of restricting them to arbritrary use as a filter

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

or indexing

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

which can be done already for cheaper

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

feels odd

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

how can indexing be done cheaper

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

if ad-hoc networks aren't a thing, they become useless

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

create smart observers do the exact same thing

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

and more

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

and for cheaper

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

no they don't?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

am I getting confused what you are on about

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

they can only point at one block, emit signal in every direction, and have a max resolution of 1% capacity

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

signal emitters can do any item count

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

and emit at a very different part to the storage bus

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

redstone isn't implemented yet, once it is wireless transmitters exist

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

plus when do you need to know more than 1% capacity resolution

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

hmm...

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

and create has easily settable filters that work with tags etc for the item filter

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i suppose, i do think the ability to not have an entire block powering everything around it is good though

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

like in tight setups

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

I can't think of a single case where that'd actually matter too much

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

especially if you are using cables to route the system

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

and also the wireless transmitters do almost the same thing

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

redstone deactivates/activates a lot of things

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

so having 5 blocks powered is very inconvenient, and it gets even more so if you want to power something a small number of blocks away from the stockpile switch

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

okay

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

if you can limit ad hoc networks to 1 channel

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

that prevents an importer and a storage bus

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

and still allows for the use of a storage thing and that level emitter

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

the import bus is a different conversation, but again i still don't know why you want it

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i'll go check again

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

auseawesome on Discord says

I was saying what could allow for using the level emitters

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

yeah, i see

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i think it could make sense to monitor multiple storages via the same emitter

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

but i guess it's fine
