you can already do that iirc

so if I need sifted ores from gold pan I can just place sifted ore 1 each per slot

Read the suggestion again, I clearly said we all know how to "clog" (fill up 1 item in every slot), so might as well make it so you can just select a mode to only produce sifted ores or other ones which is easier to use and easier to explain to people compared to the old methods

ah

That is a pretty good idea. that is already done on generators, so it makes sense to add it to the game.

please can this get implemented
