A rather unique question.
I read through a few pages of comments before deciding my question is likely rather unique so figured I would just ask. It will be long so I can be as descriptive as possible as so you can answer with the best knowledge of where I am coming from.

I play ARK with my 10yo daughter, I run the server on the same pc i play on, she has her own pc and its just us via lan. We have roughly 20 mods installed. Ranging from Genesis, to castle building, custom baseball hats and banners, small dragons, etc. A majority of our mods come with extra crafting stations, like the silent fabricator.

We love to build, well she loves to build, I love the hunt and breeding.

With materials it really cut into our enjoyment because of so much farming required. So what I do is use the program cheat engine after I have put materials into whatever crafting station, I then use cheat engine to set each material to 9999 or 99999. It makes it so we dont have to go out and farm all the time. So now comes my questions....

1. In general, when speaking of any material that is common in almost every crafting station, in this case lets use Stones/Rocks....

If I put a stack of rocks into the sorter and there are multiple crafting stations in range, will it move the rocks to only one of the crafting stations until it has no room left? Or will it stop at say one stack in the smithy, then put another stack in the fabricator etc etc?

I understand there must already be the specific item in where it is being moved to, so how will it handle if every container in range has that item?

I think that is the only question I have really. It would make it so I dont have to use cheat engine all the time, which with all of the crafting stations we have, which is around 12, can take around an hour to do them all. I also understand that this is a rather abnormal question to get, so any info you could give will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

PS: This is just for my daughter and I, so the use of cheat engine should not be a question or morality or fairness to others since it is just her and I and its used to make our playtime better. (For those who look down on people who use such things.)
