Setting Fluid Importers integer amount by calculation, is it possible?

  • ❓ Question

Question:

I have a Choice ? operator, and based on the first input (boolean) the variable is either 1296 (true) or 144 (false). However even though that value is always an integer 1296 or 144, it will not work in the fluid importer. I finally realized I have to run it through the Materializer to turn that Choice ? variable card into a real integer.

Is there a way to automate that? I can't figure out any way to automatically bring in materialized cards into the fluid importer tunnel.

Edit: Basically I'm starting to understand the usage cases for the materializer and the proxy machines, but I am not clear on if it is even possible to automate them and get those cards into fluid tunnel's import/export interfaces.

So I've learned that I can put a proxy card into the fluid tunnel's import interface. I spent sometime running in circles before I read this bug; #581 , the materializer only accepts variable cards from the East.
