It would be very Cool if somebody could make a mod that gives us Control over the Request Chest.
For me the way it works at the moment is very inefficient. Let me explain on an Example
I set up a request chest to request 100 Copper plate. The copper is then used to make copper wire.
At the moment every time the inserter Takes out a plate the chests sends the request and the robots fly like idiots to refill back to 10
What i would like to change the Logik to
If you are below x send a signal to fill up to y
that way i could set it so that it requests copper if it is below 10 waits till 500 plates are filled up than starts looking again if it goes below 10.
Is that possible?
And if yes and nobody feels like doing it i would be glad if someone could give me some tips.
I have Programming experience and did a bit Lua stuff before but i have no idea where to start with factorio mods

Thanks and greets
