We're talking about the MFR BioReactor which can produce Biofuel when given various plant materials. It gets more efficient as you get more different types of biofuel-compatible items. However, it can get difficult to automate having precisely x amount of nine different types of items in its inventory.
Enter Chickenbones' new Translocaters! Slap one of these babies on your BioReactor, set to receive, then hit the center with a diamond nugget. Oh, don't give me that look, it'll be worth it. Now tell it to keep a half a stack of nine different biofuel ingredients that you are already producing in your MFR Farms via Harvesters, Planters, and Fertilizers (and your leather factory producing the material which you make the fertilizer with at no additional charge!).
Now, it needs something... else. There's a couple of ways to do this. If you are using an ME Network, then you slap down an ME Interface, and tell it to keep one of each of those ingredients in its inventory. Once you hit the half stack limit, it will refuse any further, and it will buffer 1 in it's inventory. Ta da.
If it is at a remote location, then do that thing with your ME Interface, set up another identical setup with an EnderChest. Since you've got 9 diamond nuggets out of a diamond, you can afford a second nugget to likewise throttle input into the EnderChest. Unfortunately, Item Tesseracts just won't do because they don't have an inventory that the Translocaters will recognize.
Badda bing, badda boom! Now it will automatically keep a half stack of nine different items in your Bio Reactor all automatic-like.
