Help with some Buildcraft?

[Smitty]

Hey! I am playing a Tekkit world and I am trying to automate a few things. I have this redstone engine that pumps dusts from a chest into a induction smelter to produce into ingots. My only issue is that it seems that sometimes just one dust gets lodged in there and the induction smelter needs 2 to cook them into ingots. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? PLEASE HELP! If you need more info tell me.

YES, I AM IN THE NEW TEKKIT.

You might be better off just smelting the ore rather than pulverizing it first, it nets you the same amount anyway. Plus, smelting ore has a chance of giving you rich slag, essentially a free ingot. Also you might try and use a white hopper as a buffer.

Oh, and inb4 'L2P AE NOoB!!!!1!'.

In all seriousness Applied Energistics is a pretty good mod, you might want to check it out.

Applied Energistics essentially allows you to store your items in a network; enabling you to smelt/craft/retrieve on demand. I haven't really gotten into it, but a lot of people on this board swear by it.

AE owns me, body and soul.

It's genius.

I remember, back in february, on our server (it was a custom modpack that included AE, not tekkit), nobody knew what AE did, and nobody bothered to learn the mod. People just stuck to the conventional pneumatic sorting systems (I must admit I was one of them). Fast forward 3 months, and people SWEAR by the mod. Funny how these things work once you bother to learn a bit about them.
