Configuring Auto-Export and Item Side Routing

Managing automated input and output lines prevents factory bottlenecks and keeps your items moving without manual sorting.

Configuring Sides and Auto-Export

1. Place down your chosen factory machine and open its menu.

2. Click the side configuration buttons in the menu to open the color-coded settings.

3. Use the color-coded menu to designate which faces of the block handle inputs, outputs, and fuel.

4. Place a vanilla chest or a transport pipe directly against the side you assigned for output.

5. Toggle the auto-export button on. The machine will now automatically push completed items into the adjacent chest or pipe as soon as they finish.

Locking Input Slots to Prevent Jams

When feeding automated supply lines into multi-slot machines, wrong items can obstruct slots:

• Open the interface and lock your input slots to specific recipes.
• Locking ensures that mismatched items cannot enter the wrong slots and jam the machine during automated processing.
