steel bars would be the ones that i am trying to make haha...i have 10k coal from your mlm bot, and i bought 10k iron...wanna make into cballs
i have been thinking about how to run the steel without it creating iron. on startup, you could have it only run one inventory of coal. then do a bag of coal and inv of iron, after that, on the way back to the chest, it can check the furnace "check melting pot" to see if there is enough coal for the next batch, if there isn't, it can bring as much iron as there was coal, and a full bag of coal (or however many inv spots)
I don't know how hard any of this would be to implement, it is just a theoretical idea right now, but one that i hope would work...also, sorry for the really shitty drawing, figured was easier to show in case explanation was bad
