This schematic features a unique five-rail system designed for delivering mail using minecart chests and renamed paper. It includes dedicated rails for mail delivery, returning empty carts, accessing the post office, handling failed deliveries, and an inspection rail.
The system is designed to be tiled and is tuned for a specific direction, so it should not be rotated. Ensure you use the schematic corresponding to the correct direction. This particular version is designated as ‘East’.
It is based on an earlier iteration of the mail system concept.
