inserters not putting items into wagon even if there's space

Post by uncle mcnuts »

Hi,
I have an issue with inserters inputting to a wagon, that has either nothing or some items, see snip and save file.
The loading mechanism is split just to prioritise filling of the back cargo before the front and is not in question.
the inserters just hang without adding to the wagon, even though it has worked previously.

much appreciated for any help

You set the inserters to work when there is copper in the connected chest. There is no copper in the chest, so they do not work.

the connected ones are not in question as there is only wires to inserter columns 1 and 3 respective to the train 1 being the front 4 being the back, columns 2 and 4 while some inserters work the ones one top side dont, there is space in the wagon.

The upper inserters are not placed adjacent to the track.
