GP's Ultimate Compact Silicon

the design has several issues, notably when it fills up with coal. I fixed this somehow, but I don't remember how.

Nice GIF. Seems to be a mid-tech silicon smelter, after you get raw thorium but before you get the more advanced materials for a crucible.

@Xane Vaults have a limit on how many of each type they can hold. You can't clog it up with one type of resource to prevent adding in another. Sorters and inverted sorters also don't have an internal inventory, if they can't find an output, they don't accept an input.
So as long as you have your sand and coal on different belts leading up to it, it shouldn't clog with anything.

I had never thought about using a vault as both input and output! I love how this works.
Devils advocate however... what happens if you end up losing track (usually power issue mid-attack or something) and the vault gets filled with sand or something. Other than manually decluttering it, is there a better way?

np :)

Thanks for updating this

This is wonderful, the box lets me see what material is the bottleneck.

nice
