Autocrafting tiny dust piles in Unleashed

[Ravnen]

Since neither the Sorting Machine/Packager nor the Xycraft autocrafting is available, what's a good way to turn tiny piles of dust into full piles?

I guess one could use AE export buses in craft mode and make patterns for all the dusts, but seems like a pretty clumsy method

The way I did it the last time I played with GT was with BC autocrafting tables. My AE system exported the tiny dusts to the autocrafting table, and then pulled out the results. It does require 1 autocrafting table, 1 export bus, and 1 import bus per dust type however.

Sorry but the packager is available in Unleashed as its part of Factorization

Where do you get your Tiny Piles of Dust from? Do you have GregTech added to your Unleashed Pack?

Those are way too slow.

However, the RP2 sorting machine isn't.

Metallic bees

AE crafting pattern with 4 tiny dusts->dust.
with the crafting multiblock, you dont need the busses.

There's no way to make it automatically craft them, though, without the busses. Not to my knowledge at least.

Also, do bees even output tiny piles/nuggets without GT? I haven't come that far in Unleashed yet, but I recall reading that in at least some cases it was caused by GT making the drops from combs more consistent

Why not go Buildcraft and have a Packager per apiary/alveary. But I don't think you even need to worry as I believe the tiny dusts is a GT thing

I have not used it yet, but the Force Pipe has the ability to add an item card to it and it will autocraft as the items go through the pipe.

From the change log...

If a Craft-upgraded Item Card is placed inside the Force Transport Pipe when items matching recipe ingredients (forge sensitive) will be stored in an internal buffer. When this buffer has sufficient crafting supplies it will craft what it can and send the results forward through the pipe in the direction of the last item passing through the pipe.

That sounds pretty awesome

That's what I thought as well. Tiny Piles from Bees with GregTech, nuggets if you use bees without it.
And with GregTech there would be an easy solution with the Electric Autocraftingtable. You can set the crafting mode in the interface, one of the modes just stores all input in an internal buffer, cycles through the items and combines them if possible. 4 Tiniy Piles into a dust, 9 nuggets into an ingot, scrap into scrap boxes etc.
