Sorry didn't phrase that right. I am aware that items with same health stack, and that's fine for my use case. Factorissimo uses it as id in a creative way, and I want to do something similar. Thanks for the correction on float vs double. 32 bits good enough for me.

As a side note, is it possible to connect an underground belt input with another output manually by using ...

Currently TransportLine only gives item name and counts, I need to access the health too. Trying to find entities also skip the items on transport lines. So I can't get this info in any way, however the health exists, and is available if an inserter or player picks up the item from the belt.

Why not use carbon for fuel? Coke purification seems to take 5MJ coke + 1.6MJ CO2 (from 0.2 coal) to produce 12MJ of 2x carbon.
