For players with access to Platinum Ore & Sheldonite Ore (T3 Rocket or Far End Asteroids), processing of these ores to yield Platinum Metallic Powder Dust is '''the superior starting input''' for the platline, even over the purified platinum-bearing ores. Sheldonite obtained in this fashion can be processed in two ways: it can be centrifuged to yield both Platinum Metallic Powder Dust as well as Palladium Metallic Powder Dust, alongside nickel and sulfur, or it can be directly smelted for twice as much Platinum Metallic Powder Dust. The suggested way is smelting as the ratio between Sheldonite Dust and Platinum Metallic Powder Dust is 1:2, rather than the 1:1 offered by centrifuging it.

The platline is a perfect candidate for using a subnet for abstraction, simplification, and reducing the overall necessary size of your main AE network. A network with minimal storage that all platline related dusts are routed to by high-priority storage bus, and all platline outputs are routed away from back to the main network in the same way is common. Additionally, the various fluids can be easily handled with fluid p2p as it is many-to-many.
