I'm having this issue, I'm using the mode where unrecognized items are sent to the specified color, each sorting machine leads into the next through a pipe painted the unknown item color (black) which is the same for every machine with another set of tubes along-side any non-black known item escapes into, not being a black-colored item it can't enter the next machine.

So any item with a destination other than the unknown-item color will jam any machine beyond the 6th closest to where the items are headed, it won't jam machines 1 through 6 and only machines 7 through 10 jam in this fashion. Tried everything to find what the hangup is, checked every pipe and setting 10 times. With some settings the filters jam, others the sorting machines themselves jam.

My tube network isn't that big, it's sending into the next chunk over which is also covered by a world anchor so it isn't that or anything. What's the deal? Can you not feed more than 6 sorting machines into another sorting machine?
