mod 2.3.4

Place a chest next to a machine (such as a furnace or crystal house) and the machine will automatically remove the original items from the chest and push the processed items into it. Connect multiple machines with boxes to connect them.

Goes well together...

Better Junimos adds more crop automation (like replanting) and other improvements.

Deluxe Grabber Redux allows automated grabbers to also collect nearby animal products, feed, crops and indoor potted crops.

Filtered Chest Hopper enables advanced machine piping.

Machine Control Panel Allows you to control which items each machine type accepts.

Non-destructive NPCs prevent NPCs from destroying treasure chests and machines.

Workbench Helper allows you to link chests to a workbench for manual crafting.

Mod interaction:

Extended storage works well with Automate, but it also changes Auto-Grabbers to store items output by the machine.

Qi Chests work well with Automate, except that Automate currently treats all Qi chests as part of a single Junimo chest network.

basic automation

Place a chest next to the crafting machine (any orientation, including diagonally) to connect it. Machines connected to the bins push their output into them and take raw materials from them for processing.

If you have multiple chests connected to a machine, then all inputs to the recipe need to be in the same chest (e.g. one chest has coal and another has ore, and the furnace won't work).
