Slimefun Cargo Management Issues

I'm having major issues with Cargo Management at my region. All these problems started after a server restart. Everything had been working fine for days. Then, after a routine server restart, everything stopped working. I've been trying to get help from admins to no avail. I keep getting told that they will report it to "higher staff", but higher staff is yet to be seen. So, I'm going to post this here in hopes that somebody looks into it.

The following is just one example of how things have broken.

This is my setup: I have an electric ore grinder, electric gold pan, and a chest (see below)

Here are my node setups:

Electric Ore Crusher has an input node set to channel 2 (orange) with gravel in the whitelist.

Electric Gold Pan has an input and output node. The output node is set to channel 2 (orange) in order to receive the gravel from the ore crusher.

The input node of the Electric Gold Pan is set to channel 3 (magenta) with flint, sifted ore, and clay on the whitelist. This should send these items to the chest which is on the same channel.

And finally, here is the chest output node. It is on channel 3 (magenta) and should be receiving flint, sifted ore, and clay from the electric gold pan.

-- Here are all the problems ---

When I put cobblestone into the electric ore grinder, it converts it into gravel and sends it to the gold pan. The problem here is that instead of sending the items from the gold pan to the chest, its putting the items back into itself. This ONLY happens if I have an input node on the gold pan. If I don't place an input node, it works as expected.

Also, for some reason, on occasion, the electric ore grinder is completely skipping the gold pan entirely and placing the gravel into the chest:

This makes no sense to me. Each "step" is on a different channel. The electric ore crusher is supposed to send the gravel to the electric gold pan on the orange channel. The electric gold pan is supposed to send the flint, sifted ore, and clay to the chest on the magenta channel. How the gravel is going from the electric ore crusher to the chest is completely baffling me. I also have no explanation as to why the sifted ore and clay are going back into the electric gold pan instead of being sent to the chest.

Keep in mind that this isn't simply just something setup wrong. I had not modified my setup since I created it. It had been working flawlessly for days. Then, on a particular server restart, it stopped working and has yet to fix. If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know. Somebody suggested that the nodes may have broken, so I replaced all nodes with new ones--that didn't work. I even replaced the electric ore crusher and gold pan, but still the same problems.

Hopefully somebody has a solution to this glitch!!

Had no idea. I'll disable it. It never ever crossed my mind that it would be illegal. I figured the server would have disabled if it was not allowed.
Thanks for pointing out something unrelated and not providing ANY input to the issue though! Appreciate it ........

I'm not a slimefun nerd but, there has been a lot of problems with slimefun lately.
Like, in the forums, some people posted about things turning into heads and such.
So yeah, be careful while doing slimefun.

Minimes are allowed, just turn off player radar and cave map

Well, that sucks. The whole reason I started playing on this server was to mess around with Slimefun. It took me forever to gather up all the resources to make some awesome things--and now they don't work! So disappointed.....

There are no problems with the machines itself from what I can see. Try going through each machine and perhaps checking you haven't messed with anything accidentally or try breaking & placing them back.

I already did replace everything. I even went as far as crafting new nodes, a new electric ore crusher, and new electric gold pan. It's still acting completely buggy.

Only changes made to slimefun was the version update, which shouldn't have made any changes to how cargo nodes behave

Here is proof of the issue's I've described. I just recorded this video a few minutes ago, so the problem is still occurring.


As you can see, whats supposed to happen is: cobble is converted to gravel in the electric ore crusher. Then the gravel is supposed to be sent to the electric gold pan where it is converted into either sifted ore, flint, or clay. Then, the sifted ore, flint, and clay is supposed to collect in the chest. But that's not happening. What is happening is: cobble is being converted into gravel. Some of that gravel is going straight into the chest. The other gravel is going into the gold pan. When the gold pan converts the gravel into sifted ore, flint, or clay, its not all going into the chest (it should!)--most is simply going back into the wrong slot in the electric gold pan. Eventually, it all backs up and all the gravel just heads straight into the chest. Makes no sense, but there's the proof of what I've been saying.

Just FYI, I rolled my own local minecraft server and threw on the Slimefun plugin. Replicated the exact same setup as I have on MCCities and it works as expected with no issues. So, the issue is localized, not something related to Slimefun itself.

Question since you did say you tested it on another server:

1. What version was the server on?
