Taking this idea a little bit further - you could have a low and high threshold (I'm thinking of two sliders on the same bar, but I'm sure you can work the details if and when you decide it's a good idea).kovarex wrote:Another option is to have an checkbox "Exact count" in the requester panel.
It would be unchecked by default, and it would allow bots to carry little bit more in that case.
Yeah, that's quite useful.kovarex wrote:Another option is to have an checkbox "Exact count" in the requester panel.

Heh, this is literally exactly the thing I wanted to suggest here but thought it might cause some issues by having your entire armada of robots fill an order of single item type while none of them works on moving around other things.sillyfly wrote:Taking this idea a little bit further - you could have a low and high threshold (I'm thinking of two sliders on the same bar, but I'm sure you can work the details if and when you decide it's a good idea).kovarex wrote:Another option is to have an checkbox "Exact count" in the requester panel.

What I mean is - you can set the requester chest to start requesting when it's lower than 200, and stop when it reaches 300. Then the robots will "ignore" this chest until it reaches 200 again. Of course - setting these two numbers to the same quantity would mean "exact amount".
Just a thought
