So the magic 200 day mark has come and gone...the party btw was awesome. Tom got wasted as expected and started hitting on Rita which almost started a fight with Richard...Lucy almost burned herself up when she stepped outside with Shelly during the day...fun times.
Jokes aside, my new logistics/automation plugin of choice is now SFM. After watching the video showing sieve automating and being properly awed, I was compelled to build myself one.
I ran 2 standard chests worth of dust thru it and was more than happy with the speed of only three sieves. The problem was the time used to sort, store, and (in the case of metals) process. A better system was desperately needed. My initial setup was an exact clone of the video and what I envisioned was far more complex. Picture this, 24 gold chests, a trash can, 3 automatic sieves, 10 smelters, a transfer node cobble Gen feeding 4 crucibles to fuel the smelters, and overflow lava going to a drum for storage. This system will handle everything from dust, sand, gravel, and smooth stone automatically sorting, processing, and storing without any interference from me. The time saved from having to manually micromanage all that tedium far exceeds the cost of time and materials to set this up. Color me a happy camper.
I'll post a pic of the command interface after I get home from work.
