I intended to use both sides of the input to produce in parallel, however I couldn't find a good setup to suppress the output and produce a salt chain fast enough to be worthwhile. Luckily, this setup saves cycles over my previous solution by decreasing latency, since I avoid having to take up space handling waste in the center, while maintaining around the same deconstruction speed. Unfortunately, it seems that recycling the waste is more cost effective than creating a waste chain so I actually complete the objective of the mission.
