Auto-Spawner -> Portal or Conveyor Belts -> Smeltery -> redstone signal on faucets going to casting basins or gem casts
Isn't 2.7.4-255 the current version? You can net them, just need to use the reusable one.
that... won't work. as you'll need a molten liquid inside the smeltery first, before the villagers can be smelted.
but the smeltery will only drain the liquid which was first in the smeltery, which would be the molten liquid you used to smelt the villagers.
when that's drained, the molted emerald will be left, and will be the next to be drained. but if it drains too fast, the smeltery will become empty and there won't be any molten liquid left for the smeltery to keep smelting villagers. the only way to fix this is perhaps have some block or machine which can read the liquid contents of the smeltery, and stop the redstone signal when the liquid content goes below a certain value
1. Smelt iron ingot
2. Drop villagers inside
3. When smeltery is full, drain iron into an ingot cast
4. Drain emerald into gem casts and/or basins
5. Drain remaining emerald bits into a basin, break basin to empty it, put it back down (or you can pipe out the remaining liquid emerald)
No need for any special block or machine.
Also, you can left-click the liquids shown in the Controller to move them around, so you can drain in any order you like. You could just put the iron on top so all of the emerald will drain, but not the iron.
Use fluiduct with servo to extract liquid emerald, just need a bucket f it first (use fluiduct into a TE tank for easy transposing back and forth).
Also, opening the UI of the smeltery (while setting it up, so its a one time thing), click the liquid emerald to drain it first (into a tank so you can get your bucket for your filter in your fluiduct).

Would a molten metal passing through a fluidict on a timer work? So have a basin for emeralds with say an iron ingot already smelted, take avg time to get enough villagers increse it a small bit for lag sake and then pump out and back in the molten metal to keep them all smelting?
I actually tried that before, but it did not work. I had molten iron on the bottom, and molten emerald above that, but it did not want to extra the molten emerald before the molten emerald was on the bottom... though I did not know you could move around the liquids inside the smeltery, good to know
