Factory Machine

[Doctor Ape]

Inspired by a certain other game with an abundance of conveyor belts, wouldn't it be nice if there were machines similar to current chem factory for solid items.
This machine takes up to 2 items from 2 conveyor belts and merges them together, if they can be merged. This could go two ways: Either making mass-production of crafting items easier or laying the foundation of a
industrial-style system. You could even build a map around this: A map with a focus on energy production, item production and lots and lots of conveyor belts. Factory station.

I always imagined a Clock Cult rework that would involve a factory-style machine like you described. Started working on a design doc but never got far, sadly.
