Maximum limit for logistics slots

Post by immibis »

Currently, logistic slots in your character allow you to specify an item, and a minimum amount of that item to keep stocked. You should also be able to specify a maximum number of items. If you have more items than the maximum, the robots will take away the extra items the same way they take items from active provider chests.

I seem to pick up quite a few stacks of iron plates/copper plates/coal/etc when rearranging things, and it would be nice if the robots could take it away automatically.

Make one of those a logistic storage chest, and drop the stuff in one when you feel you've got too much. ;)

Active provider* if I want to reuse the chest. But that misses the point of it being fully automatic. You could also say "Make a requester chest, and drop it down when you want robots to deliver stuff to you", but we have character logistic slots anyway.

Yes, exactly that.

Maybe it could work for requester chests too. You could have a buffer chest with almost infinite size - if it gets too empty, the robots will bring more stuff, and if it gets too full, the robots will take it away. But probably not, to keep it simple.
