Is it possible to put a fill bar on ore silos and warehouses like they have on fluid tanks? It would be useful to get an at-a-glance estimation of how long until you need to do something with your (non-liquid) byproducts.

Fluid tanks can contain only 1 type of item at once, how do you imagine a warehouse filled with every item in the game having such a bar? Use nixie tubes or circuit lamp stuff to visualize contents you care about.

Well, the whole point of a Silo is that it is intended, coloration and all, to hold exactly one type of ore.

Also, you can always just give fraction of item slots filled.

Could probably set up something with combinators and indicator lights.
