In soul urn factories, tree farms, wheat farms, breeding farms (animals produce multiple drops) and any machine timed to release many items at once, multiple drops are released in a single stack. This single stack can be hard to split between different things.FlowerChild wrote:To what end?

It would be useful if it did as a sort of 'side function' to the main function of the block.
Take battosay's latest let's play, for instance: in the wheat farm, it was too hard for him to fully automate the collection and placing of seeds, because there was no way to split the drops equally between the dispensers with out it taking up too much space.
All the drops from the pigs and cows are collected below the building. Say he wanted to send half the porkchops to be eaten, and half to be made into tallow. This would be possible. If he wanted to equally split the amount of steak between a dung factory and a cauldron to be cooked: he could send half the meat to the wolves and half to a cauldron.
This small feature would allow for his.
