The saw is breaking

[plats98]

I have an issue whit the saw.
It keep breaking for me, in my auto wood cutting.
It work fine for 5-10 logs, then it just break op. i have water under it, to pick up the planks
so it goes from the top -> saw - logs - water
the logs are being push in under the saw by a piston.

Could it have something to do whit the water ?
or could the logs be pushed to fast ?
well it does not sound likely but i really do not know.

And thanks for the best mod out there !

last time my saw broke was when I put a non wood / companion cube under it.

Thanks mate !
I moved the water 2 bloks down, and now it works. Edit: It dont work, only a few logs more then whit one spacing
Guess this is a bug, that FC sould fix at some point

Or well, its only 1 blok more. Well i dont need the fix (and i dont even know if it is a bug)

Still great mod !
Great work FC

I'm not sure what the bug is here. Are you saying the Saw breaks when it tries to cut a water block?

[Gilberreke]

I think he means when you do saw-log-water. A picture of the breaking setup would help :)

[plats98]

Ohh sry :S

He is the breaking setup

Hope you can see the setup from that!

When i moved the water 1 blok down, it worked perfect !

Hey agian.
I made a small video about my setup
Its my learn by doing map, and not my real BTW map.
How ever i still need it to work before i farm for it.


Its not the best video on youtube, but i think i can show you what happens in my setup.
As i say in my frist post, i'm not even sure its a bug, it can very well be me who is stupid.
But i would still like it to be fixed :P even if i have to redo the whole setup.

Thanks for your time to help me !
It means alot.

O_o I tried to re attempt your little bug, but i didn't know your set up was this big and complicated...

[plats98]

Ohh.. I did know it was big, But is it complicated ?
Maybe i'm smarter then i think then :D

It just annoying to think of a cool set up, and then it fails.

finite8 - for his idea of pushing whit a piston, to get the tree up and into the next part of production.
Well i have to say i have no clue how he did it :P but this is my attempt to do something like that, just more advanced
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=258

And here it is:



Will annotate it all when i get the chance. Will put some in now though to explain briefly.

EDIT: Have annotated the Tree production process. The Milling part is on my to-do-list.

OMG..
just realized that I wrote in the wrong place.
Damn i must have been sleeping.
This has nothing to do whit tech support - more like "Bug reportes" or in BTW Discussion page...

Well i'm not sure what to do about it now though..
Can you move the post to a more appropriate page ?
or is it OK to have it here ? (damn i feel stupid)

Ohh and if you want i can upload my saved file, if you wanna test it out David367th ?
And the vid i posted was not very error friendly..
ill make a new one, only filming the saw.

Edit: Uploaded new Video

Yeah, definitely a bug.
Moved to the proper section.
@Flower : Watch the second vid, at 0:35, to see what he means.

I am guessing it has something to do with the block being pushed at the same time its being sawed. The saw is taking fractions of seconds longer to saw then the piston is taking to push the next log so they are getting out of sync and the state of the block is changing during while it is being cut. Does it always break on the 16th log?

[plats98]

I tried it 3 times more..

Here is the results:
1. break on 11
2. break on 23
3. break on 14

So i guess its random. (if you want me to try more times let me know)

And if you only input a single tree it should not fail (by the results i have here, as a tree is normaly not bigger then 7)
But my system needs to handle more trees then one tree

Ah, I see what's happening. Has nothing to do with the water. The Saw is getting randomly updated with a moving piston-block (or more accurately, a block pushed by a piston) in front of it. It doesn't recognize the material of said block, so it's breaking.

Will fix for the next release. Thread closed.
