Priority On Logistic Chests

Post by Ammesamme »

It would be nice if there was a button to set priority on logistic chests. to set from what chest to take first. To for example set higher priority on storage chests

Why do you need that? Do you have an example?

I had a similar idea of assigning logistic robots to certain chests.

I think this is already possible by using circuit networks. Setup smart inserters to take from smart/normal chests to the storage/provider chests and turn the inserters on and off based on information in the network. If the higher priority is empty turn on the lower priority inserters.

I suppose the biggest issue with that is that you can't know what items will be in which storage chests.
