So I have been playing here a while and it seems something is wrong with the way hoppers or the ticks work on the server. I am not sure if it is something that has been modified server side to slow ticks or if the server is just lagging. I have built an auto forge so I can do other stuff while it smelts real fast.
The way a hopper chain should work is there should be one item moving though each hopper at a time till it reaches the final destination. You can see from the video and the comparators that not all the hoppers have a continuous flow of items. The hoppers will take 3 items and run them though all the hoppers before it sends a new batch of 3. It should be sending a continuous flow of 1 at a time. Normally it wouldn't make a huge issue but for many builds it is game breaking.
For my smelter instead of having all the items go into one forge there is a system to distribute the ore evenly so it cooks faster. No point in having multiple forges if they all go into one forge anyways. Since the hoppers don't work the way they are intended everything flows into 1 forge on the front or 1 forge on the end depending on how I set it up. Until the large amount of space in the hoppers and chest that I use is full only 1 forge will light.
Any help fixing this issue would be appreciated. I did notice this on several other builds as well so it's not just this one thing.
Mine:
How it should work:
It does work on other servers and in offline mode so no it hasn't changed since the new version launch.
