I like automation based on given instructions, not just guessing what to do with materials.

Not a fan of the Automate mod. Oh, you put some hay in a chest? Now it’s in the shipping bin. Oh, you wanted to craft a furnace? Too bad, all your copper has been turned into bars.

It’s ok to guess they if you don’t know a person’s preference. In fact, that’s the only acceptable guess in that scenario.
