@Karmic-Skink It would be used by both Cargo and Munitions.
The splitter specifically would be used by Munitions to…probably split a line of gunpowder onto 3 new conveyor belts to allow an easier time of feeding the gunpowder slot thingies.
The Sorter would primarily be used by Cargo and possibly Munitions to sort out crates/shells/gunpowder from conveyor lines.
The intended usage is to sort and split conveyor belt lines into multiple additional lines.
Additional future usage could be to allow an easier time to recycle stuff, in the event such a rework is done.

We'll see how much it ends up being used and in what manner I guess. Ideally, we don't automate player jobs out of existence or cause situations where people insist that an automation setup needs to be completed before commencing objectives.

Closing this as I haven't worked on it for months and my last attempt at making it work in the way TheFakeElon wanted just resulted in the code simply ceasing to work entirely, even without making the changes, the code doesn't work in the way I want it to work and it's a literal mess of absolute chaos that fails half the time to perform what it's supposed to be doing.
Maybe someone else will pick this up or maybe I'll give it another try in the future once I learn more about DM code, but for the foreseeable future, I'm closing it.
