Suggestion: Some way to automate scrap box opening.

1st Official Post

    I love recycling things for scrap. It makes even useless materials have some use. However, I would love it if there was some way to automate opening scrap boxes, even if it was just a tweak to make the dispenser do it. Just my little suggestion, and I for one would find it useful.

    being spit out by a dispenser perhaps?

    I did mention that it could be done by a dispenser tweak. This would probably be my favourite way to do it, but really anything that would allow me to automate it would be good.

    It is indeed possible to hook to the dispenser code via ModLoader, so we could do it that way. Now, personally I prefer opening them myself (it's fun spam-clicking a stack of them and watching the goodies fly), but I can see the appeal of building them into automation.

    yeah, you could build a scrapbox factory with a sorting table behind it, funneling anything that you dont want back into recyclers... *mouth waters* the possibilities...
