The suggestion of a machine that puts dropped items into chest inventories means many things we already do now have a whole new layer of how to outdo someone in amazing design. For instance, egg farms can not have most efficient systems for storing all the eggs. Instead of attaching it directly to a chest, making an efficient chest cart system to spread them into the correct inventories.
Of course, some form of automatic crafting would push that further... But that is going way too far. lol
