Requester Chest With Condition?

Is there anyway to make a requester chest under a condition from the network?

Example:
-I have a requester chest to request 50 coal from the network.
-When the network depletes to less than 100 coal in the network, the chest will then request 50 wood.

Is this possible to do?

I couldn't, but someone might be able do this using some constant combinators. It would be seriously complicated. What are you attempting to achieve? I'm guessing this might be resolved with a requester chest requesting wood and coal, and then two inserters with conditional setups to a second chest. Well, assuming you are willing to use Bob's Adjustable Inserters anyway -- otherwise it will be more than two inserters... :mrgreen:

I don't see the problem. A roboport can supply you with logistic network contents. Check the amount of coal, and supply either Coal=50 or Wood=50 signal to the requester chest.

There is. And it's not complicated.

I made it this way:
check from robotic network what's your item count is. (roboport does this)
and then make a comparing in decider combinator what you want. Those send signal into arithmetic combinator, where I set request amount. (so you don't request all your coal or wood).


This is what it looks like:
