First post here, hi!

I am trying to design a vertical bee farm; one of my Droppers is permanently "triggered" and I don't know why, please help.

(I really hope this isn't QC)

  1. My dude, sit down. I have bad news for you…

    It’s QC. The giveaway is that it is “triggered” while there is no active power source.

    The Dropper can’t fire because it is already triggered. To avoid that QC state, you can add blocks that cause updates next to the Dropper, for example Noteblocks.

    In your case, try to replace the Smooth Stone at the bottom with Target Blocks and put Noteblocks on top if it instead of Redstone Dust.

    Edit: Or even cleaner, move the Repeaters between the Smooth Stone blocks instead of using Target Blocks.

  2. What I think is happening is that the row of redstone activating the top line of droppers also activates the bottom dispensers without actually updating them.

    1. The middle dispenser gets powered by the bottom line

    2. While still powered, it also gets powered by the top line

    3. The bottom line deactivates, but it is still powered by the top line (QC by the smooth stone block the redstone is on)

    4. The top line deactivates, but it doesn’t send block updates far out enough to tell the dispenser to depower. The dispenser stays on.

    The reason this doesn’t affect the ones on the side is that the top and bottom redstone lines on the right (looking from the back) activate and deactivate at the same time, and the top redstone line on the left activates one redstone tick after the bottom line deactivates (15rt impulse from the button, 16rt delay from the repeaters)

    I think this could be fixed by replacing the top smooth stone with glass.

    This is QC. You should be able to fix by moving all of your redstone and repeaters up by one block, removing the redstone on top of the smooth stone, and replacing the smooth stone with target blocks. Alternatively, you could move all of your redstone and repeaters one block further away and place a solid block at the end of your redstone lines.
