New Element - SORT

New Element - Sorter
Characteristics:- Color - RGB(60, 128, 114)
- Description - "Sorter, sorts elements by CTYPE."
- Section - Powered Materials
- Durability - Identical to STOR
Properties:
- Virtually identical to STOR, but instead acts on CTYPE, not TYPE.
- Passes stored elements to PIPE/PPIP.
- CTYPE determines the CTYPE of allowed particles.
- PSCN allows elements to pass through, just like STOR.
Uses:
- Material Refineries. Now, you don't need a complex temperature control system to sort out elements! You could just heat everything up to max temperature, and let SORT do the rest.
- Liquid/Powder Sorting. Sorting LAVA, BREL, and SNOW could never be easier.

This could actually be useful 1+.

This seems pretty niche. For powders you could cool them down to sort. For solids, still wouldn't be able to sort, but you're going to have a hard time sorting melted solids anyway.
Not every element uses ctype, it's mostly only the meltable / sparkable ones. Some elements also use it in unusual ways like GLOW (which should probably be fixed). Sorting on ctype is a little weird for that reason.
Maybe there just needs to be better ways to sort lava. Could have the .Weight of the original elements factor in to lava movement. -
Ah. I just wanted an element similar to STOR that would let me sort molten materials.
