Hello @Elmo, I am not very good at English. That's why I'm not sure what I need for the Furnace to get the ores automatically. It is very difficult for me to find out what I need and what I have to set. If I had a video of just this it would be great. But so I can not understand that unfortunately. I was already confused after the first approach!11

Now that I'm thinking of it: if I do everything via logic mirrors mirroring the two-way comms between the different memories that are transmitting the bus data between different systems, I think actually only the four mentioned Logic Memories need to be mirrored on the different systems, like is shown in this picture:

4. Therefore, I think I will have to have a data connection to my main power line for these memories and ICs, so that they can talk to each other:

- Logic Memory Storage External (RED in your video)
- Logic Memory Router Communication (YELLOW)
- Logic Memory Central Order (PINK)
- Logic Memory Crafter Internal (PURPLE)

- IC StorageMaster
- IC CrafterMaster
- All those IC CrafterControllers for which the devices are sitting on a separate power network (for example, controllers for the Automated Oven and the Packaging Machine)

Am I understanding this correctly? If so, then I guess I could do the setup simply by using Logic Mirrors for all memories and IC pins I need some other devices to "see", while they are sitting on a different power subsystem.

@Elmo to elaborate my earlier question about setting up the system:

1. My base is kind of spread out, and the different systems (storage, crafters etc.) are all set up in different locations and different power networks, which are isolated by transformers.

2. As the systems currently don't "see each other", I _think_ from your video that I need to set the system up such that certain memories (as you call them, "buses") and certain ICs have a dataline connection to the main power network (heavy cables), so that they can see each other.

3. If I cannot (due to the different locations of different crafters on my base; for example, Automated Oven and Packaging Machine are located inside my greenhouse, while Autolathe etc. are sitting in a separate room that also have the Advanced Oven) put all crafters on the same routing network, I will have three separate subsystems: storage, routing, crafters.

@Etsijä Human Machine Interface, yes that's the order panel ;)

...or is it the HMI IC?

Thanks! One other question: you haven't released the IC code that controls the "order display" via clicking its power button, have you? There seems to be some ICs controlling the "general order wall" in your Vulcan video: the wall where you input an item to the chute and the system somehow reacts to it. I just can't find the corresponding ICs, but I think using the amount display like this would be super useful!

@Etsijä The Router(s) need to be on the same network.
And any IC that reads a device need to be on the same network as that device (because you can't read slots through a mirror)
That's about it.

As always, your work continues to amaze me and I really want to implement it on my base! Question: how would you split the network between the different systems, as the load on cables is probably too big if I put everything on the same power network? Which ICs absolutely need to be talking to each other so that I can make sure their data ports are connected?
