User blog comment:Zzzz545/help with a good setup for my factory/@comment-5269467-20121021180638

Alright, well, you didn't really mention what your factory will do! To get a basic set up, make 5 chests with wooden pipes and redstone engines powered with independent levers underneath the chests. Place the chests with 1 block spaces. Put Copper in one, tin in another, iron in another, gold in another, and silver in the last. Put a gold pipe after each wooden pipe powered via redstone. Have the pipes go forward 1 more block with stone, and set up an iron pipe to make them all go to a single central pipe that goes to a Macerator. The macerator should have a permamently running redstone engine and wooden pipe, along with a gold pipe and stone/cobblestone pipes to the top of an electric furnace. This will smelt the dust you have recieved. Then, hook this up to a double chest to store the finished product. Whenever you want to smelt a certain ore, flip the lever for that ore to send it to your macerator and it will be done without constant checking! Then, you can hook up a quarry with diamond pipes filtering it to send cobblestone, dirt, gravel, gems, coal, etc. to miscellanious chests and sends the ores to their respective chests. It will be automatic, except for the lever-controlled ore sending, as to prevent having your iron try to get macerated while you are making tin, for example!
