A question about Factorization Routers

[BluSunrize]

Hey!

Is there a way to insert items into the storage space of the Item-Filter-Upgrade? I have tried RP Pipes, but they go directly into the "work" slot of the router. The CC Turtle didn't work either, even with a specified slot via the Inventory Module of MiscPeripherals.
Has anyone been able to do this by any means?
That would allow for an easy retrieval-system from the barrels without connecting pipes to the bottom.

And simply clicking the barrel is not an option, as I want to retrieve directly into my autocrafting system.

Thanks in advance

Hmm, there's an interesting thought.
Have you tried accessing the storage space with another router? I'd imagine that space has a certain assigned number...

I tried the first 300 Slots but that didn't work. As stated above I also tried the advanced drop and suck commands using the Inventory Module of MiscPeripherals.

I get the feeling that to other machines the router appears to only posses 1 Slot which makes accessing any other slot externally just impossible.

My last resolution would be to use multiple routers and use a timed RS-Pulse so they only suck one item. That would give me 16 Routers and by that 16 base-items to use in autocrafting, one for each coloured cable. Possibly more by using multiple outputsides of the computer, but overall, that would be my least desired method.
Apart from being quite ressource intensive (16 Routers, 16 Machinefilters, 16 Speedupgrades, 16 Ejectorupgrades) it would also require quite a bit more code.
