Description to Use

It has an assembly machine (1, 2 or 3) with a pre-defined revenue and an inserter (either 5) ... When placing the Requestor Chest, automatically this will check on the assembly machine ingredients you need and will request them.

The amount of ingredients that will ask for each recipe, depends on the chosen multiplier configuration.



Example:

1 - In the following image we have four assembly machines already with their recipes and inserters in place.



2 - By placing the Requestor Chest, it will check the ingredients that need recipe, multiplied by the multiplier.

[*] a) -> Small Electric Pole = 2 wood + 2 Copper Cable
[*] b) -> Multiplier = 2
[*] c )-> Ingredients that will be requested: 4 wood + 4 Cooper Cable



To turn off, just click the green color button. Turn on in red.

Importants Notes

a) The ingredients requisition order follows the order below: (works according to the function "entities" API 12:33)



b) If the same ingredients in different recipes, is inserted just a single pile of requisition items.

c) The Requestor Chest stores only 10 different items, so if the total ingredients is greater than 10, no ingredient of that recipe will be requested.

Example: (all ingredients are distinct from each other)

Recipe 1 = 3 ingredients
Recipe 2 = 4 ingredients
Recipe 3 = 2 ingredients
Recipe 4 = 3 ingredients

Following the API analytical order, the requestor will get chest:

Requested ingredient in the compartment 1-3 = Recipe 1
Requested ingredient in the compartment 4-7 = Recipe
Requested ingredient in the compartment 7-9 = Recipe 3
Requested ingredient in the compartment 10 = Empty

that is, the ingredients of Recipe 4 will not be asked, because beyond the limit of 10 items.

Future Version
I'm better study the API to find out the method that is called when changing the Recipe in Assembly machine, allowing update items in Requestor Chest.
