gollark: It seemed to work when I was using it with filters set on the servos.
gollark: Does Thermal Dynamics do it okay?
gollark: What's that doing? Just deliquifying emeralds?
gollark: I also like Factorio, because despite being magic-blocky there are complex supply chains and stuff, loads of ways to optimize, and it's actually designed to allow mass production.
gollark: Ender IO: place one block, you have done all ore processing forever, maybe add grinding balls.TE: get pulverizer, you can also get induction smelters with interesting tradeoffs (faster but requires sand and no secondary output of other metal), maybe set up hybrid system involving feeding in cinnabar or whatever, get pyro-concentrators and tectonic initiators, supply petrotheum and pyrotheum...
