Alright so I’m trying to make an auto smelter connected to a minecart loader, connected to a dropper elevator. 2 things:
-
The cart won’t take off after loading. It fills up entirely and then just sits there. It was working just fine yesterday before I did some tweaking. I untweaked it and set it up exactly how it was when it was working and now it’s just not.
-
I want to be able to have a detector rail and comparator read when the minecart has any more than 0 items in it, and trap it on the rails over the furnaces, until it is empty again, at which point it will gain access to the rails at the loading station. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get such a system to change the direction of a rail but I can’t figure it out.

Idk how to edit the post so hopefully anyone inquiring to help will see this, but I added another powered rail and now, if the hopper above the cart has enough to fill the minecart on it’s own, it functions properly. After a certain point however, it goes all the way onto the detector rail instead of sitting on the diagonal powered rail to load once arriving. This doesn’t allow for it to leave the station anymore.
That’s a pretty bad design. I could tell you why and how to fix it but it would basically mean changing the whole thing and at that point it’s probably better for you to just follow a proper tutorial like [this one](https://youtu.be/Si93E6lUek0?)
