i understand the need of the chest, but throw the ingredients back on an belt would be nice.
if its necessary, a tile with an dedicated belt, just for the combinator.
I see why you'd want this, but to be honest, I don't feel like it's worth the added complexity. Instead, I'd use a loader mod with the chest for this. Yes, it is quite a bit larger, but it avoids the problem of one entity doing a little bit of everything, which I really don't like.
