Most machines have a built in filter used to determine how they treat inputs. List Filters are used to adjust the treatment of multiple items at once.

Usage

Various machines have a Filter slot located somewhere on the placed block. It appears as a square about 4x4 pixels in size. Items or blocks can be placed in the filter slot to change the block's behavior. Depending on the block, the Filter may reject certain items or blocks if they do not suit the block.

List Filters

List Filters can be set to either allow or deny set items and ignore or respect data.

Nesting

All filters can be put inside List Filters, and with List Filters this can go on infinitely. The original filter takes priority over nested filters; for example, an original filter can Deny Saplings and have a nested filter that allows saplings, but the saplings will still be denied, and vice versa.

Attribute Filters

Attribute filters focus only on data. The filter can Allow items with any of the desired attributes, only allow them if they have all of the desired attributes, or deny items with any of the selected attributes. A reference item is required to show and choose attributes, but attributes can be added by multiple items.

Package Filter

When a Package Filter is used in a Filter slot, a create component such as a Brass Tunnel or Smart Chute will sort Cardboard Packages depending on if they match the address in the filter. While setting an address in the filter, entries starting with '#' on held or nearby Clipboards will be used to auto complete the input. The input also supports custom simplified RegEx syntax (check Cardboard Package: RegEx).
