Is this an appropriate use of the 500MW reactor?

since i finally decided to update my game, I've updated the mod as well.
It should now work with the current version (0.14.something).

SOON(tm) :
the re-inserter that's too complex for my pointless taste
my sanity

i don't know how or why, but it now works.

i'm back
and more pointless than ever
bringing you the return of pointless mod

progress is amazingly slow. the last thing i made was a flamethrower that shoots iron ore...
