I require your assistance, I am trying to set up a mining transport item auto machine system a doo hicky.
Basically when I am mining I want to put cobble etc in a minecart chest and send it away, to a hopper which will empty it and then it be sent back to my mine when its empty.
So we are looking at a hopper with a powered rail on it, and the powered rail becomes active when the chest is empty, but I don't think it's quite that simple as you cant have a comparator coming from a minecart chest. It would have to be a detector rail, then we have the issue of powering the track to move the minecart again. In creative I have set up an elaborate exor rsnor latch contraption which doesn't quite work as I had hoped maybe with some more tweeks i can get it working, hopefully there is a much easier solution that one of you can point out to me that I have just overlooked.
Thanks in advance.
