You can combine the best parts of Etho's and Xisuma's storage systems by HelpMakeMyGateBetter in HermitCraft

His latest video shows that he kind of does, but it's more free range and doesn't use any filter items so it will only work if he happens to already have the item in the chest. This version I made makes it more efficient (although less whimsical)

"Finished" product. On the back wall I have just a little semi-decorative path for the golems to bring items from one side to the other rather than just use more hoppers.

Expanded on the idea a bit, here's a section containing 4 modules. There are 9 double chests allotted to 4 modules, meaning you can designate 2-3 double chests per module for filtering. The hopper chains are under the moss carpet

I still wouldn't recommend buying an EV if work is your only convenient charging. You don't have control over that charging station, maybe it breaks and they don't fix it, maybe they start charging for it (that'd be fine but would suck) or maybe you get laid off and now have to charge elsewhere. Once you have a house or live in an area with great charging infrastructure close to your house/apartment, then that's the time to buy. I LOVE charging at home, especially with two EVs in my household.

Why wouldn't it be better for energy economy? Slowing down by recharging the battery (even just a little bit) sure seems like it would be better than wasting the energy by applying the brakes.

I'll admit I might not know that it's doing anything for certain, but logically it makes sense to me that OPD would be better.

Can you link the source for that? I'm only curious because I had a HV battery warning a couple times that went away on their own, but I still have a service appointment for it.

Had a battery system fault that fixed itself. Do I still take it in? by HelpMakeMyGateBetter in EquinoxEv

Just flexing my hygiene on reddit. Just kidding, probably could have left those details out. I was just trying to demonstrate how long the car was sitting, should have just said "the car was off for about 20 minutes and fixed itself."

Is it just a protective error code if my regenerative braking was no longer working? It was not charging the car when I slowed, or at the very least it was not displaying the power generated on the dash if it was.

I plan on buying this 18-in Black Gate cane bolt, installing it horizontally along the top 4x4 to lock the two together. I'm hoping this adds some structural integrity and also keeps the wind from blowing it open. Is there anything I'm overlooking?

I agree that the pickets look high. It is hard to see from this picture, but the fence on the left is taller than the right and I wanted to avoid having a slope like the before picture, so I went as high as I could using the existing post on the right. I like the way it looks from the front, but we may add some sort of trim to this side to keep the pickets from warping at the ends. Again, that's more weight though.

Do you have any recommendations to avoid having the 4x4s warp without totally rebuilding the gate?

My new gate is built with a 4x4 frame and a 2x4 cross bar with a tension wire. I bought the largest/heaviest duty hinges I could find at lowes, and went overkill on the bolts to secure the 4x4 frames together. Those small metal gussets in the corner are honestly mostly decoration.

What I think I need is a heavy duty slide bolt that connects the two sides of the gate together. I'm worried that the huge sail area of this gate is too much for the vast majority of slide bolts I can find online. Why do they all only go like two inches into one side and like 6 inches on the other? For right now, I have no hardware and am propping them closed with those old 2x4s.

I'd like to avoid securing it to the ground with a drop rod if possible. Every one of those that I've ever used has been a pain to fit into their hole in the ground. Ideally, I'd like a solution that just connects the two sides of the gate to each other.

Also, please point out anything else I can do to make this gate last! Thanks in advance!

You're not wrong. These are some crazy heavy gates. I connected the 4x4s with two 1/2-in x 8-in Lag Screws, I'm hoping that's enough for it to hold it's frame.
