Hey there!

Love the mod. A very interesting and powerful means of handling compact machine builds.

It would be great to have some way to pick up and move a compact machine while preserving its contents. Useful for, say, if you were moving a base.

Note that this functionality can be achieved with the help of other mods but it seems like it would be really handy to have native support for this.

Any thoughts?

Already supported. You can upgrade Compact Machines by right-clicking it with a Nether Star.
After that breaking it will keep the contents and buffers intact. You can then even use a Quantum Entangler to make a copy of the Compact Machine block.

That is very neat. I was unaware of this feature, thanks and keep up the awesome work!
