Setting Storage Minimum

[Alkopoko]

The option to set a storage maximum amount of spots used does wonders in allowing for storage to stop producing after you hit a point where you have no reason to produce anymore. Sometimes you find yourself running out of resources and don't have enough resources to back up your manual production because everything is being used on an assembly line. If you could set a storage minimum to decide the minimum amount of content of a chest, than the chest will always insure that it doesn't touch anything out of the first few blocks or whatever blocks you set for the chest to save. This would be great for vanilla because you won't have to worry about the entire chest with emergency resources, getting eaten up.

This feature is in my opinion already implement. But eventually not as you would like to have it (see below).
And in my opinion it is a players task to manage the supply. Which can already be automated more or less like so.
More or less means: It depends on what you want to do exactly.

For example:
A) Just simply leave items back: Just put items into non-logistic chests. Player needs just to grab them out of the box. A valid solution to this problem.
B) Leave items back for player inside logistic network: This feature would be possible to implement but it is not possible yet to say "It must be implemented like so, that it will have the best effect".

A is simple.
The point of B is just, that there is no clean idea how to implement this.

So moved to implemented: you need to build something to implement A. (And even there are several solutions thinkable, there is no clear "This does what I want/need")
That is also the problem with this suggestion: It is not detailed enough to distinct between the different use-cases of this feature.

No problem: You/others can create a better suggestion, that considers more situations. But the better way would be to have a mod, to tests, what is most useful.

A simple way to do this with the logistics network would be to set up a bunch of requester chests set to request, say, 200 of whatever items you think you'll keep finding yourself needing before going out and you just drop by and pick them up when you need them. Once those chests have the requested amounts in them, the bots will stop filling them and take the products elsewhere.
