Allow Exporting Of Sandwhiches

[ThunderLord95]

Please describe the new feature or change. The ability to use some sort of exporting block from other mods to take the finished sandwich out of the block out of the bottom instead of requiring the player to do it.

Please describe why you want this feature. If you allow blocks to retrieve the sandwich it would allow for easy automation of infinite sandwiches and also allow me to realize my dream of making a system where customers can come in and make custom sandwiches with an interface.

I second this. I noted the bottom of the block doesn't have any input/output function, so that'd be great to allow that side to export. Similar to a vanilla furnace.

Another option is just to not allow ingredients that are already in the block to be pulled out. You could think of it as "sanitation purposes" to disallow those items being pulled out.

The reason there's no export option is because it would allow easy duplication of the output item due to how the logic works for crafting. I'm not sure there's an easy way around this while keeping the current logic, because every sort of automatable process in modded that I've seen has a processing time involved which works around the issue. The vanilla furnace is an example of something that is not comparable to the culinary station because it has a processing time as well.

I've left this open because I do have some ideas about how to get around this, most feasibly I could have an "automation" mode that you can toggle that will add a small processing time but allow exporting items. I really don't like the idea of automating the culinary station but I can still have it as a config option at least.

Would you accept a patch for this with a config option for an automation mode? Or maybe a 'mechanical culinary station' (also off by default in a config)?
