Logistics requester slots should do logistics trash too

Post by factoriouzr »

As logistics request and logistics trash slots are so closely related and often it it desirable to keep an exact limit, I propose the following changes:

+Logistics requester slots should automatically trash all goods of the type being requested that are above the amount being requested (changeable see below)
+have a scroll bar to set the logistics request amount (as it is now) and also have another one to set the logistics trash amount (above which to trash the items, same as the logistics trash slots now). By default the trash slider will be set to the value of the request slider when first adding the item
+allow requested amount to be settable to 0 (i think this works now)
+allow trash functionality to be disableable by a checkbox next to the trash amount slider
+add ability to research many more rows of requester slots


The reason for this merge is to avoid annoyances in having to set every item twice, once in logistics requests, then once in logistics trash slots. I don't see any reason to have this functionality separate from each other.

I think they can also be enabled together, but if a separate research is desired to enable logistics trash ability then I suggest having research for the number of logistics slots, and this gives logistics requesting ability, then have 1 other research for enabling the trash settings for all researched logistics slots.
