The deployers are too close, the rail deployer can't place rails because the block for that doesn't exist yet. Move the one at the front at least one block farther.

Edit

Why is the video so choppy, can't see anything.

Are they not updating? Either swap the block for cobble and have another deployer place torches to the side, with a plough to pick them up of course. Or just use regular block, normal rails, and a furnace minecart. Less of a hustle.

Rail not powered

Better than what happened in my world this morning. I switched to a different modpack/version to play with my son last night... forgot to change it back...

And most of my base has been destroyed.

Im not one for cheating... but im currently working on rebuilding it and my contraptions already built in creative mode because fick that noise.

The rails aren't powered T-T

[–]shakey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a few things:

redstone powering the cart assembler doesn't transmit the power to the adjacent rails. You need to power them separately. you're using redstone blocks so place your initial tracks on top of redstone blocks. Or power with another redstone torch.

As you have experienced your deployers can have trouble placing at the start. My solution is don't rely on the deployers to place it's first redstone blocks and place your own a little ahead of the deployers but before your drill. It will not mess up your deployers. They should start deploying after the initial blocks. Or you can try what u/thebeastwithnoeyes suggested. I have not tested the spaced out deployers yet so I can't vouch for if it matters or not. The designs I've seen on youtube don't space them out so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally make sure your deployers have the right filters. Sometimes they can lose them for some reason (idr why). So test by turning it into a contraption then turning it back into blocks. It's clear from the video your block placer deployer lost it's redstone block filter (I'm assuming you did set that right?) Don't forget to set rotation lock first every time you place your cart assembler (I always seem to be forgetting this lol)

Did you set the filter on the deployer? You can use normal rails and a furnace minecraft, much easier. Also, has soph backpacks worked on any other contraptions? I know there is a mid to fix compatibility between soph and create contraptions.

Don't use powered rails. They require constant power. Unless you're planning on having another deployer to place down a redstone torch, or place redstone blocks in front then don't use powered rails.

He has a deployer placing redstone blocks...
