Multiple ingot types very irritating.

That's not in our current build...and OMG would it be overpowered by default with gregtech. Imagine being able to turn an iron electron tube into an electronic chip, or Autarchic gate, or a Golden Chipset, etc.

Fortunately you can disable ones you think are OP in the config file.

Indeed, that's why I said by default. That would be really tempting though.

Really though, I think simply turning of factorization silver would be fine. The other 2 mods provide enough silver even for factorization, especially if you pulverize your lead.

I was thinking the same too. From my Tekkit days, I had loads of silver, and nothing to do with it. The amount needed for RedPower was minimal.
If you are using Factorization builds, chances are you are not going to us other machine systems, so won't need the silver for those.
If silver is a shortage for your server, well, that's where MystAges and Twilight Forest come in as other sources of ores.

Haven't checked, but I assume you can turn off Factorization Silver Ore generation, and use other mods silver in Factorization recipes? If so, I'd be included to have the mod enabled, and might even use it (there's soo many new things to learn!)

No, actually, Factorization will not recognize Silver from other mods, nor will it recognize Lead Ore.

I was able to get every ore except tin and bronze to form a single ingot type. The other ores can be formed into blocks on an auto crafting table and then separated back into ingots on another. What you want to do is figure out which ingots the blocks turn into, and set up the system to pull out all the other types for this block processing. You end up with only one type of each ore (except tin) in your sorted storage. Just use the Forestry recipe for bronze at all times, as that gives you more ingots anyway.

[C] is a chest
[T] is an auto crafting table
= is a wood pipe with an autarchic gate

[C][T]=[T]=
[C][T]=[T]=
[C][T]=[T]=
[C][T]=[T]=

Sort your odd ingots into the various chests. Send the output to sorted storage.

The word from a mod pack developer who I talked to in IRC is that a lot of this duplicate ore/ingot stuff will be fixed for release.

That's great to hear. The pack is already so polished, this stands out as one of the major "still feels very beta" components. It'll be interesting to see what balance they settle on (i.e. which mods ores they allow to generate.)

Technically, they only have one of each ore type generating (except for silver, since one of the silver ores can be used in a TE machine to get both silver and lead). The only thing that is an issue is the fact that if you use different machines for your ingots, they will appear differently, which can be a real pain. Glad that this will be addressed in the full release, but for now I can bear it.
