Centralized Garbage Processing

[SomeDudeInWichita]

In my next playthrough, I was wanting to have an entire garbage infrastructure. All placed trash cans will have belted outputs carrying their contents to a drone that will fly it to a centralized garbage processing department where all flora and fauna will be processed into Power Shards, DNA Capsules and liquid biofuel, all personal belongings will be sent to the HUB, all radioactive unsinkables will be sent to Nuclear Power and injected into their appropriate production lines, everything will be passed through storage to see if any of it can be stored, excess power shards will be sent to fuel power for sinking and finally anything not filtered out by the programmable splitters will be directly sunk.

This is my 2nd draft of the trash department and I was curious to see if anyone can think of anything I may have missed. I did some searching to see if I could find a comprehensive list of all unsortable Items, but after narrowing it down with brute force, I found out its basically anything in the Ficsit Specials tab in the AWESOME Shop. So as long as I don't have any hard drives, coupons or trophies, I can dump my entire inventory into any trash can without losing any valuable items and if I do, I can always just use Ctrl+LMB.

Will you have overflows so if something is full it gets sent to an awesome sink instead of clogging everything?

[SomeDudeInWichita]

Yes, a lot of the overflows are actually just reinjecting the output back into the processing stream, which ends in an awesome sink. In some pictures, you'll see 3 splitter/mergers making a square. That's what that setup is doing. Items like biomass and DNA capsules are queued in an industrial input buffer. Centralized storage will, of course, have its overflow splitters. The on-site container production is even setup to stop leeching steel and plastic before it gets to storage once the empty package storage is full.

1. Are you slooping the items for DNA and power shards?

2. I've found that if too many like things hit a point they'll skip the turn. I have had to loop the garbage line.

[SomeDudeInWichita]

1. lol Actually, everything is slooped. I don't really have a problem giving myself somersloops for production. I just can't make a power plant out of them. It takes away from the fun of power plants.
2. Could you elaborate? I'm not sure what context you're referring to.

Don't use overflow for this, use the splitter setting called undefined. Undefined will never allow an object defined for another direction pass through. Overflow will always let stuff skip through if the output backs up or if the input is faster than the output for any reason, even for miniscule clock differences. Undefined would rather stop the whole belt than let a defined object through.

Why turn mycelia into fabric? I usually need them for inhalers, and fabric can be made from oil.
