    Factory Filter Module

    In the same manner as the [Macro] pulls its needed resources from a [Micro], there ought be a factory block which pulls (but does nothing else with) specified blocks from its 'c'+'v' targets. This would help a great deal in sorting which minerals to place where on the return from a mining venture.

    Usage

    A factory line item distribution may then appear thus:

    [Micro] <---some mineral--- [Filter] <---some mineral--- [Container with all sorts of junk]

    This could make for some excellent automatic item sorting, even without a factory, really.

    This is also brought up by flpsantoss in the New Crafting System Discussion, where he suggests a block that limits the quantity of pulled resources, as well.

    Yeesshh, that will give us the option to make much more complex factory chains!
    Edit: Maybe it could be a microblock that you could put on a special slot while accessing the factory block (etc.) and it would stick out from the point that the "pipe" started.
    PS: Modular Upgrades :D
