yourself now 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 with that maybe we want to store some of them that 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 yeah 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 in one output and the orange form with the arrows 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 in here I'm gonna build one ring here it's gonna get a little tight though let's build one somewhere else look 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 can vary a poll multi like multi-level conveyor poles basically so what I'm gonna do yeah I want to demonstrate these so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set this to number five on my health bar and then I'm gonna create some splitters so I'm gonna split the iron rods and I'm gonna split the plates and I'm gonna build a multi canary Pole thing here and then I guess I'll do one here and I'll do one here hoping you can see what I'm planning and then I'll put this last one like here maybe okay and now I can start we'll just flip that into here we just whip this one into here now we've got this little 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 gonna 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 there once instead of keeping 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 yeah so then what we could probably do just for demonstration purposes I'm just gonna do another thing here so you can see you can set up all three of your layers and then I'm gonna just send the screws into here I guess and I'm gonna send my I think that with plates down here and my rugs okay and so now I have my three resources and there's ladders on here so I'm gonna climb up here now I have my three different resources coming into their respective storage containers now one thing I haven't demonstrators are conveyor belt merges which and I'll do that now for example these storage containers they 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 let the 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'll do that there we take this to come around like that this one you come down here let's help them please work yep I'm in there so now all running out of space so all of these are being fed into the merger if I grab that stick in here and all of those resources should come through this we've got screws we got plates screws plates rugs freeze rods so they're all coming out and they're all going into 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 gonna 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 reports are in place we got two we have 13 this is very slow I'm sure other people out there could make this work much quicker see
