A hopper can be placed on top of a Machine Infuser and any Dimensional Shards will be accepted and placed in the left spot. However I'd like to propose that it also accept any valid infusable machines and place them into the right slot.

I'd also like to propose that once a machine is 100% infused, it be exposed as extractable to other mods.

This would allow me to hopper (or whatever) in a large stack of say Powercells and Dimensional Shards and have them all get infused for maximum bonus. Right now the process except for refilling the shards must be done by entirely by hand. You can't even shift-click machines into the infuser! 😞

It is possible to automate if you have RFTools Control, which is able to specify the slot number to place the target machine into. The tricky part is deciding when it's complete, but that can be done with a 'NBT equals ('infused', 256)' test.

Shift-click support and pipe IO would be nice, but (config option?) requiring the user to determine completion before extracting would maybe stop it being too easy to automate. For hardcore config, an option to make the infuser keep consuming shards as long as an infusable item is present would force automation and/or metering of shard input for the extra challenge.
