Automated Inventory Sorting
Minimum sort size
Is there any particular reason why you chose 0.1 as the minimum amount to transfer? Several production recipes use smaller amounts than this of gold, magnesium, nickel, platinum or silicon, and I've had usable traces left hanging around in refineries.

Changing to 0.01 locally (unzipped copy) appeared to have no negative effects.

I'll update it to 0.01 next version

This has been updated.
What is the reason for the minimum size? I disabled it locally and there don't appear to be any ill effects.

If there's no minumum size, then whole items will split (ie a steel plate will split in half). This gets confusing for people.
I commented out the amount check on lines 695-696 of Inventory.cs, immediately after the ore/ingot check. Is there some sort of edge case this prevents?

Mostly just annoyances. No minimum fractional value checks means the values can get so small you just end up with a piece of ore that is like 0.00001kg, mostly on splits. I did it that way due to complaints about very small fractional items.
Ah. I'd suggest moving the check to the split function, but that's probably a lot more trouble than it's worth. My obsessive streak was being set off by the traces of platinum remaining in my refineries, but I can deal with that myself.

Thanks again for the mod, I consider the game unplayable without it now.
