Pusher refuses to push

[Maverick2797]

I have a pusher set up to move items from one chest to another with the pusher directly next to Chest A and a tube length of 1m to Chest B. There's plenty of items in Chest A and enough empty slots in Chest B to accomodate them. No matter what I do I can't make the pusher remain running, it always returns to standby mode without moving any items.

I've tried removing and replacing the pusher, chests and tubes. Even removing, restarting server and replacing them to generate new node numbers doesn't help.

Removing the tube doesn't make the items eject into the air, and extending the tube to put the pusher in the middle of a tube run (ie not against Chest A) doesn't change anything, it still returns to standby mode without moving anything. Both chests have pre-assigned inputs configured but the same thing happens without pre-assignment as well.

I have an identical setup about 10m away that works flawlessly... could this be something weird to do with the position?
Positions and param2 for reference:
TA4 Chest (p2=3): 962,10,1986
TA3 Pusher (p2=2): 961,10,1986
TA4 Tube (p2=75): 960,10,1986
TA4 Chest (p2=3): 960,10,1987

I built the setup on the same location. I can't find any issue.

What kind of pusher and chests do you use?

I tried with TA3 pushers (techage:ta3_pusher_pas), TA4 pushers (techage:ta4_pusher_pas) and TA4 Protected Chests (techage:chest_ta4), so pretty much exactly as you have it above. I eventually got it working by adding a filter item to the TA4 pusher, but I don't see how that would have been any different to removing the node and replacing after a restart? Might be a wierd edge case as I've had the same thing happen in other areas that self-fixed after a while.

The setup in question:

I'm using the pre-assignment as a buffer before using an injector to input the recipe into the autocrafter. The other chest below the other side of the distributor is for the 2nd ingredient, basically mirroring this side.

What kind of tool do you use to dig or place the pusher?

[Maverick2797]

Just a diamond pickaxe (default:pick_diamond) with a couple of levels from the toolranks mod
