Take a look on some new work in progress machinery here:

The new ore processing concept requires ore to first be crushed, then concentrated (creating tailings in the process) and then refined (creating sludge in the process).
Love it! Are there any plans for automated item transportation such as pipes or conveyors? Really hoping to see room for nuanced designs of various types of systems like mining, processing, manufacturing, farming, building, etc. Can you speak to any plans for anything of the like?
I can say that we are interested in giving options for more and full automation, but we do not have any specific plans for that yet.
How it will impact a life of a smelter? Will it make it easier or harder? Whats the point.
That depends on if he still only does the job of smelting - in that case he would use the concentrated end product. But with the production chain getting longer, there is more that needs to be done and opens up a new profession space.
