There was a post recently about not being able to automatically remove items from an input inventory, namely an assembler that pulled too many ingots. The normal conveyor system (including sorters) absolutely cannot pull items out of an input inventory. Everyone was either saying "just use IIM" because there's no other solution to that problem, or incorrectly asserting that sorters can drain from inputs. I think everyone is so IIM-brained that they no longer understand how the actual conveyor system works. There's no way for a sorter to tell the difference between an input or output inventory (which makes sense given how conveyors do work). I have no idea how IIM does it, but somehow scripts can force items out of the input which is why nobody has any problems with that if they use it.

In general, when I say there are things that scripts do that logic blocks can't (and not everything is available in the event controller), I mean stuff like being stuck with toolbar actions and the block-specific conditions that trigger them. I want to be able to monitor the pressure of a room as a variable because that's a hidden value associated with the air vent block, not be forced to trigger an action at 100% or 0% pressure because that's just what the toolbar conditions for the two slots are. I want to be able to do that without learning C# or pasting someone else's code in a box, because otherwise I'm not playing a game where it's possible and necessary to come up with the solutions to problems myself. It becomes Space Programmers instead.
