How to count and group items on a line in the Fallout 4 Contraptions DLC?

Solution 1:

I hope I'm not excessively late to answer this for you. I got a couple of options:

1. Square wave generator speaker thing:

   I think that if you use one of the square wave generators hooked to one or two counters (you can set the count limit of the counters in a computer) set up to maybe binary (1 & 2 would replace 0 & 1) you could pull it off

2. Belt trip laser

Same thing with the counters, but hooked to a couple of trip lasers to control the timing to your liking.

3. Contraptions DLC

You could set up some kind of clock with the rails and object launchers in a way that they trip the pulse stitches while rolling down.

Don't let anyone hinder your creativity man. I just picked up the game again to build a ammunition crafting facility with multiple plants building, each making different ammo; and I'm over 16 hours of just making it play well together. If you're still playing I recommend you come back to it.
