Dear factoriovteam many thanks for your fantastic game ILOVE IT!
But i have one Suggestion for you, can you implement buttons at the slider bars where you can quick select the amount of an item? Example: In a requester chest i want 100 Ironplates, sure i can take the slider or 100 by the textfield, but a simple button click is much easier. what do you think?

The problem I can see is this - what is special about 100?
You might like having 100, but other people may like having 20, 200 or even 5000 plates requested, for whatever reason. And having too many buttons is never a good idea.
Plus, how many times do you fiddle around with requester settings anyway?
Set it once, then copy and paste to all similar chests :)

Please be more exact. We have there a space problem.

See for example

Did you know, that you can type a number for the exact values? You can request 67 item for example.

If this is implemented, something like configurable buttons would be nice. 2 or 3 buttons with custom values. This would solve the problem with too many buttons or not enough values.

The slider *is* a series of small buttons, compacted into that space.
