Suggestion: Storage Assistance Machine
Basically a machine that allows you to convert between different storage types (e.g. gems, ingots, dusts, blocks). Is split up into three tiers. The mode of the machine can be changed using buttons.
Their input slots consist of a variable number of rows. Each row is processed simultaneously like the Induction Furnace.
Lite Storage Assistance Machine
Is able to convert between all forms of Iron, Gold, Copper, Silver, Tin, Electrum, Bronze, Brass and Glowstone, except plates.
Is able to convert between tiny forms and standard forms of all dust.

A = Dense Lead Plate (if not in yet, 8 Lead Plates in a compressor)
B = Quantum Chest
C = Energy-flow Circuit
D = Highly Advanced Machine Block
E = Nichrome Coil
F = Standard S.A.M.
Replace Standard S.A.M. with Hardened Glass or Reinforced Glass to get an Upgrade
The Advanced S.A.M. is a multiblock structure. Casings arrangement:

===2nd Layer===
-- A R A
M R S R
-- A R A
A = Advanced Casing
M = Machine
R = Reinforced Casing
S = Standard Casing
It has 4 processing rows with 3 slots each. There are an additional 3 slots for ITNT.
Has a 1.2 million EU buffer.
Energy Consumption
Basic Functionalities
- 10% savings for Standard version
- 20% savings for Advanced version
- 10 EU for conversion from tiny pile of dust to standard size dust pile and vice versa.
- 50 EU for conversion from metal ingot to metal block and vice versa
- 100 EU for conversion from dust (e.g. glowstone and redstone) to block and vice versa.
- 200 EU for smelting of metal dust to metal ingot
- 200 EU for compressing of metal nuggets into metal ingot
- 300 EU for macerating of metal ingot to metal dust
- 2500 EU for macerating of metal block to metal dusts
- Add costs, so 36 Tiny Pile of Tin Dust to Tin Block would require
(9 x 10) + 200 + 50 EU = 340 EU
Standard Functionalities
- 10% savings for Advanced version
- Plate bending costs remains the same
- 200 EU for compressing of gems into gem block
- Convenience compressing costs remain the same
- Aluminium smelting costs remain the same
Advanced Functionalities
- High temperature smelting (Blast Furnace) costs remain the same
- High pressure compressing (Implosion Compressor) costs remains the same.
- 400 EU for macerating of gem blocks into gem dust
- 50 EU for convenience crafting of Scrap Box
