Usage

The Stockpile Switch detects how full an inventory is. This is shown as a chest icon on one of the red bars in the interface.

Placement

When placed by the player, the Stockpile Switch will attempt to orient itself toward an adjacent inventory. If multiple or no inventories are present, the Stockpile Switch may orient itself toward the player and can be adjusted as normal using the Wrench. At present, it cannot be oriented vertically.

Threshold

Item thresholds can be set to determine when the redstone signal turns on or off. For example, a Switch can be set to give a signal as long as the inventory stock is below 25% inventory space, and after which can be set to not give another signal until the inventory stock dips below 5% inventory space.

The signal can be inverted by clicking the button showing two opposing arrows next to the lower threshold bar.

Filtering

The interface of the Stockpile Switch

The switch has an inbuilt filter. The switch can be set to only count how much inventory the filtered items take up while ignoring every other item in the inventory. When a Filter is applied, the switch counts every item in the Filter while ignoring everything else.
