Suggestion: re-using empty cells

Zane6888 · Sep 2nd 2011

where do those empty cells go that come from:

filling empty fuelcans with coalfuel cells
crafting obsidian from water and lava cells
using lava cells in generaors
using uranium cells in reactor

i would like to have them back even if they are so easy to craft

1. It's a clutter.
2. They ARE easy to craft - you need only 8 tin ore for a whole stack of cells.
3. Since generators consume the contents of the cells, the empty cells would have to be discharged somewhere, like another slot. Having an entire new slot just for empty cells is impractical.

it may drop cells to ajusting chest, just like miner does with stuff.

Cells were coded to be cheap one-use containers, for the sake of simple, stackable coding. No further discussion.
