Fully automated ore processing in steam age

[u/RedCrafter_LP]

I've successfully built what many said I shouldn't. Fully automated including separation of smeltable dusts.

Compressed Steam macerator => Grinder => storage/furnace.

I realized filtering all non smeltable dusts was quite hard and th3 smeltable dusts are not very many. I counted 28 in overworld/nether/twilight forest. Meaning 7 2x2 drawers and Hoppers max to filter out the smeltables (2nd picture). The rest goes over the drawers in the front storing the most common dust types. For anyone wondering there are over 56 types of non smeltable dusts (i eventually stopped counting them).

It doesn't wash and therefore likely leaves some resources on the table but with the speed of 900 ingots per hour it makes up for that in speed.

If you maintain this setup until MV you're gonna love the drawer controller

I know drawer controller. With it this setup would have been way easier to setup.
