When they're on their own separate networks, everything works as planned. But when joined as one network... the drones assume the Passive Provider is there to refill the Requester chests (which are already being filled via trains). It causes an endless, unnecessary loop.
I wish there was a way I could 'one-way' the network, to where the drones will be smart enough to realize that this particular provider chest is NOT to be used to endlessly refill the same requester chests that the copper is coming from!
I literally cannot have nice things here with this setup. But if anyone can help, it would be awesome.
Here's some pictures (the areas of concern are highlighted);

This is in version 0.12.35, by the way. Most of the mods I use aren't updated to 0.13 yet.
