2 Cooper Golem Ideas.

So, the cooper golems can only reach chests within a certain reach of them, but we all know how big our storages can get, and how we like to stack chests and connect them with hoppers, so what I would like, is if cooper golems essentially would notice the items in the very bottom chest of such a stack of chests, so they automatically place the items into the very top chest of that tower. 

When I build a large storage unit, with a red stone item filter, I usually build a row of chest towers, each tower of chests is for a different item, and the auto filter just puts the respective items into the top chests, from where they flow down through the hoppers to the bottom chests, from where I can access them. But for this to work with the cooper golem, it would have to be able to read, what's in the bottom chest of such a tower, so it places the respective item into the right chest at the very top.

Also, one thought I had, not sure how handy this would truly be, but maybe it is worth exploring anyway. So, with oxidation, we basically have 4 different kinds of cooper chest and golems. So what if, cooper golems only grab items from chests of their respective oxidation state, as an extra filter?

    I agree with this, it would make using the copper golem with large storage systems more feasible. I would recommend that with the 10-chest search limit, that the golem can only search the top chest and count the entire chain as one chest. To prevent massive searching time, the chain could be limited to 10 connections. The connections can be any combination of chests, double chests, barrels, hoppers, or pots. Once the 10th connection has been searched, the golem moves on to the next chest.

    personally I'm not sure about Golems putting items in chests that match items in the chests under it. I could see that backfiring, at least certainty for me, as I often have storage rooms with chests stacked on top of each other with a different selection of items in each. 

    But I do like the idea of Copper Golems only using Copper Chests that match their oxidation. I could see it been useful if for example: a larger storge room with different categories/ farm outputs in different sections, or any time you might have multiple Golems working so as to not have them all trying to path to the exact same place at once and getting in each others way.
