Help with smeltery please :D

How do I select a specific type of metal I have selected to output?

I pretty much smelted everything I had when I built my first one, but I need some copper but I have like 300 iron at bottom and it just outputs that when I want to output my copper..

I tried clicking copper with both buttons, dragging and such but its a static display on my smelting tank thing. Not sure how to do it!

You can't. Smeltery metals are ordered like a FORTH stack; whatever you put in first, ends up at the bottom. My advice would be to make multiple smelteries.

You can use portable tanks and upgraded fluiducts to siphon off any molten metals that are in your way in the reservoir.

This. Having a few tanks with fluiducts allows you to move molten metal back and forth, if more pressing needs arise...or if you've got "scraps" that you don't want to destroy, but aren't enough to make a block/ingot.

That is my current smeltery setup, hope it makes my explanation clearer!

**it's not copying my link exactly right, forward to 7:55 to get to the smeltery section of the broadcast.

OR RIGHT CLICK the liquid you want at the bottom and it will go to the bottom.
