If you don't do that, you'll pull out the things you're intending to sift, and you'll empty your initial block storage container real fast without having sifted a thing!

Then, when you want to take whatever the sifter is producing and move it out to some other storage container, you'll need a second ITD, and you'll have to set it to ignore input slots 1 and 2. In other words, specify that you want only output slots 1 and 2 to move over. Set the ITD connecting the storage box to the sifter to ONLY fill the sifter's first two slots, as the rest are what it will be generating and if filled there won't be room left for your sifting results.

For example, if input slots 1, 2, and 3 are added to the ITD and the "I" is marked green, the ITD will look for items in every slot except for 1, 2, or 3.Įxample: You want to feed a whole storage container's worth of items into an extraction device. Clicking the "I" under the slots will cause the ITD to ignore those slots. To remove, click the entry and then the - button. Enter the slot number in the text box and then click the + to add it to the list. Input slots/Output slots refers to the storage connected to the corresponding Input/Output (Blue/Red) circle, i.e., adding slot "1", will cause the ITD to only look at the 1st inventory slot in a connected storage. You can connect one ITD to several Wells and/or several Growing Trays simultaneously. Connect the red circle (Output) of the ITD to the blue Input of the Growing Tray.Connect the bottom-right blue circle (Input) of the ITD to the red Output of the Well.Suppose you want to move water from Well to Growing Tray. You will see three small circles (two blue at the bottom, and one red at the top). Switch your Matter Manipulator into Wiring mode (or equip Mechanic's Wrench). Avoid moving items into full containers (can be prevented with Capacity Sensor). Note from Kherae, the device's creator: Please be careful with these on multiplayer servers, and be considerate of others. See Configurable 3-State Cycler for how to avoid it. When used improperly, it can also create a lot of lag. You can explore and build more, and do tedious things less. If you set it up correctly, it will save you the most important resource of all: your time. It can water/fertilize your crops, sort your items, move food into refridgerators, sands into Sifters, ores into Blast Furnace, and is a basis of complex factories. Item Transference Device (ITD) is (not a joke!) the strongest device in the game.
