[QoL][Feature Request] Distributor Item - Inventory Management

[Sarah-Graesyn]

I have noticed that if you do it right and you put your fuel accepting storages at the top of your list of inventories and set up a buy order in a store for an appropriate fuel that the store will automatically fill those fuel slots first before depositing excess fuel into another storage.

This behavior of stores has bred an idea in the depths of my brain that there could be a convenience block created for players who are trying to manage their own storages and such; something akin to a distributor or management center where it has a limited inventory of its own but where you can deposit carried resources only and then the block will distribute them through other storages much like the store does; according to how you have your storages tab on it set up.

I.E.

• Manager Block - Deposit Coal

• Kiln - Manager Checks Fuel Storage and deposits coal if space available; if not then it moves to next fuel storage

• Blast Furnace - Check Fuel Storage, Fill, Move On

• Chest - Deposit Excess if any

Being able to assign storages for automatic fuel consumption would be awesome

I have seen mods that add objects like a "Coal Bucket" which has 1 crafting recipe that simply costs 1 crushed coal and makes 1 crushed coal this allows you to move crushed coal to different inventories for example, it still cost labour to do so its not a freebe.

which honestly could be a nice way of adding "belts" or "grabbers" to the game for more automation.
