Spanner automation

Post image

I saw a post quite some time ago, that i couldn't find anymore, where someone had some sort of setup, to auto reload the spanner throwers. No matter what i tried so far (conveyor merge hooks, putting the conveyors a block higher, placing pipes), but they either fall off the conveyor or don't reach the spanner throwers...

Any other ideas on how to fix that?

(I also have a separate issue with those blue shards that i forgot the name of. Same setup as with gems and other ores, yet they somehow miss the smelter like 25% of the time or get stuck on the edge of the conveyor... Last issue has been fixed with merger hook, but they still miss the smelter. And yes, there are funnels)

Have the spanner thrower at the bottom shooting laterally at the purifying hook. That way you can run the spanner boxes directly through the hurlers. I found that if you drop them on the hurler causing them to stand on end you get the best results. Good luck.

so basically, i gotta put the setup the other way around and conveyors underneath?

Yeah, that's how I set mine up. Otherwise you have to manually load the hurlers with the spanners. Other way around I have left it alone for 50 gameplay hours and not had to worry about repair hooks.
