About dust compression

I don’t favor that kind of storage solution for dusts of size 1/72, 1/9, 1/4 as it calls for duplicate mass storage for all items rather than unifying them. It only takes 14k units of dust to fill a mass storage given the format 1/72. There are more reasonable things that makes you want to unify, whenever you want to automate for example sulfuric acid bathing you’ll specify which types of ore you want there but if you don’t compress from tiny to regular sized ore first you’ll congest all sulfuric baths with tiny ore amounts not divisible by 9. Same applies to centrifuging magnetic separation etc. Anyways i solved the worst of the congestion by adding 3 mass storage (with resetting filters) and dust funnels to the 1/72 compression section, so I won’t be crying about this subject too much more.
