Storing and Sorting Chem Lib Dusts

A large share of the registry is Dust items, and they are easy to mix up in a chest. A simple sorting habit keeps crafting smooth.

What Counts as a Dust

Dusts include Acetylsalicylic Acid Dust, Aluminum Hydroxide Dust, Aluminum Nitrate Dust, Aluminum Oxide Dust, Amide Dust, Ammonium Chloride Dust, Antimony Trioxide Dust, Antimony Trisulfide Dust, Barium Carbonate Dust, Barium Chloride Dust, Barium Hydroxide Dust, Barium Nitrate Dust, Barium Oxide Dust, Barium Sulfide Dust, Beryl Dust, Beryllium Carbonate Dust, Beryllium Chloride Dust, Beryllium Hydroxide Dust, Beryllium Nitrate Dust, Beryllium Oxide Dust, Beryllium Sulfate Dust, Beta Carotene Dust, Cadmium Carbonate Dust, Cadmium Hydroxide Dust, Cadmium Nitrate Dust, Cadmium Sulfate Dust, Cadmium Sulfide Dust, Caffeine Dust, Calcium Carbonate Dust, Calcium Chloride Dust, Calcium Hydroxide Dust, Calcium Nitrate Dust, Calcium Oxide Dust, Calcium Sulfate Dust, and more.

Sorting by Family

Group dusts by the element or compound they belong to. Keep all Barium dusts together, all Beryllium dusts together, all Cadmium dusts together, and all Calcium dusts together. This makes it obvious when one member of a family is missing.

Using Dusts in Recipes

Dusts are inputs for crafting_shaped recipes. When a recipe calls for a specific dust, pull it from its family chest rather than searching a mixed pile. If you run out, check whether the matching non-dust item, such as Barium Carbonate or Calcium Chloride, is still available to work from.
