Storing some items for later

People out there who are used to factory games can already see massive issues with inefficiency, but you can solve that yourself.
Currently, all of our rods, screws, and plates are being turned into reinforced iron plates, but maybe we don't want all of them to go to that.
Maybe we want to store some of them so that we can use it later.
We can come and take it out of storage and build some conveyor belts or something.
We may not want all of them to be converted.
So if that's the case, let's build a couple more storage containers.
Here, storage container.
And one thing to note here is you can see that there's one input and one output.
And the orange one with the arrow is pointing in.
That's obviously the input.
And then the aqua turquoise one pointing out is the output.
So I'm going to build a storage tenure here.
I'm going to build one.
Is there room here?
It's getting a little tight, though.
Let's build one somewhere else.
Build this one here.
This is beautiful, by the way.
And we can also build on top, so let's do that.
So now we have the storage containers for what I want to store.
Let's try and get them over there.
So something else that I want to demonstrate are these conveyor pole multi, like multi-level conveyor poles, basically.
So what I'm going to do, yeah, I want to demonstrate these.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to set this to number five on my hotbar.
And then I'm going to create some splitters.
So I'm going to split the iron rods.
And I'm going to split the plates.
And I'm going to build a multi conveyor pole thing here.
And then I guess I'll do one here.
And I'll do one here.
Hopefully you can see what I'm planning.
And then I'll put the last one, I don't know, like here maybe.
Okay.
And now I can start, we can split that into here.
We can split this one into here.
And now we've got this little cool, cool little system going on.
And in fact, I think I'm foreseeing a problem here because I also need to split
I also need to split here, but not just that.
This is going to be kind of tricky for this conveyor belt to get through.
I guess it does work there, but one thing that might even be safer is if I were to dismantle these and I get the plates that were on them, the rods.
Instead of keeping it on the same level, I might take the bottom level, put it to the middle, take the middle level, put it to the top, and now it's much safer in terms of clearance of getting over this conveyor belt, so there's no issue there.
And yeah, they clear that quite easily.
And then I can grab the screws, and I can plug that into here.
And now we have our three resources.
And...
So then what we could probably do, just for demonstration purposes, I'm just going to do another thing here.
So you can see you can set up all three of your layers.
And then I'm going to just send the screws into here, I guess.
And I'm going to send my, I think they were plates, down here.
And my rods can go
up

here.
And so now I have my three resources.
And there's ladders on here, so I'm going to climb up here.
Now I have my three different resources coming into their respective storage containers.
Now one thing I haven't demonstrated is our conveyor belt mergers, and I'll do that now.
For example, these storage containers, it's not as if they can only hold one type of thing, so maybe we want to just store all three in one storage container.
Personally, I wouldn't do that, but for demonstration purposes, we can do that.
okay so now if I make a conveyor merger and I hope I give it enough space for this we're gonna find out I do that there we take this to come around like that this one come down here
the top one please please work yep come around there so now all running out of space uh so all of these are being fed into the merger if i grab that stick it in here then all of those resources should come through so we've got screws we've got plates screws plates rods screws rods so they're all coming out and they're all going into uh this storage container
And like I said, I personally wouldn't do that.
I'd prefer to have dedicated storage containers because essentially this is going to fill up quicker now with various things when you could just store more across different storage containers.
Yeah, so that's the merger.
Those are the multi-level poles, gray poles.
I think that's everything covered.
So now let's see how many reinforced iron plates we got to.
We have 13.
This is very slow.
I'm sure other people out there could make this work much quicker.
