From what I've seen, a few people have suggested a sort mechanism, and I am all for it.
My suggestion is two-fold, and could be implemented in an Either-Or choice by Schema:
1: create a 'recipe' for the factory that accepts 1 of [insert block here] and outputs same block. This would allow the factory system, as-is, to SORT inventory placed in a factory system.
OR
2: create/implement a SORT block, that could be piped to PlexStorage system. Allow an Input and an Output, and when activating block, display a GUI that allows the application of sort fields. ie: if Mineral, output a, if not, output b. this would allow sorting inventory AUTOMATICALLY, by type. Thus, having search fields like mineral, terrain, shipblock, general, docking, etc, and specific fields like exact block sort or mineral type sort (all levels of vappecide, octogen, etc.) would allow a faction to have a central repository for storing salvage/raw material, without having a full-time factory/surplus manager( which is me, in my clan).
Honestly. I feel any of these would work, and feel that they would make the game more enjoyable for those of us trying to fully utilize the industry mechanic.
Feel free to add your input, I am trying to find a consensus here that might guide the Hand of Schema.
