Hi,
First of all, I've searched this forum and with Google for a solution and I believe this question has not been asked before.
My goal is to build a machine which automaticly creates refined iron. The most efficient method is using a rotary macerator with iron ore in the first slot and coal in the second slot.
When connecting a pipe to the top of the rotary macerator, any item in the pipe will end up in the first slot of the rotary macerator. Pipes connected to another side of the rotary macerator will end up in the output slot. My best guess is that there is no way to force an incoming item to the second slot? I hope I'm wrong, so if anyone knows a proper solution please let me and everybody else know.
