Shows a single slice of the bulk hall containing box sorter, the bulk storage and a smart-noteblock display.

A Bulk storageDefinition: At it's simplest, a bulk storage is just a system that stores a lot of items, usually a single type per module and in box form. The challenge usually comes in trying to make the system compact, ext... made for easy understanding, scaling (both upwards and horizontally) and using. Features an open cieling design.

Features

HopperspeedDefinition: Refers to the speed at which items are processed in a hopper (1 item every 8gt, or 2.5 items per second). Usually written as an integer (e.g. '3x hopper speed'). ## Common hopperspeeds 1x: 9000 ite... Box sorterDefinition: A Box Sorter is a contraption that takes in boxes of a single item-type, takes the first item out and assigns the box to a storage Slice that matches the filter of that item. by acaciachan, so is the input;

While there is no box displayDefinition: A contraption that displays a shulker box and has some or all of the following features: a button to dispense a new box, breaking of the box when it empties, automatically dispensing a new box when...ed, its hopper remains unlocked (meaning default 1 hopper per slice is unlocked);
Less slot density than the traditional bulk layout;
Slices are opened via dropper latch;
non-instant globalDefinition: Annotates if a signal comes from a global system ( a 'brain' ), or from within a Slice. For example, one global clock could send signals to 8 slices on an interval, or all 8 slices could have their... locking with 10bps signal.

Notes

The included wiring is Open Ceiling, allowing for a lot of decoration freedom and to fly in and out of the bulk storage;

The latches inside of each slice can be set by building the bottom row of the slice, adding hoppers on top and manually dropping the item into the hopper instead of opening the dropper GUI. Only 1 item is needed per latch.
