gollark: I'll just have a bunch of them unfiltered and hope it works out.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: What, so run them all into a bunch of ingot formers and hope one will either be waiting for more of that metal type or be empty? Clever.
gollark: I want to feed that directly to an ingot former.
gollark: Basically, the melter makes 1 ore into 2.5 ingots, apparently.
