How to create a requester with more than 12 "request slots"?

[Reika]

This is something that would seem trivial, but there is not actually a value for in the entity prototype. Can it be done, or faked with some scripting hackery (ie sending explicit requests manually)?

By the control.lua it is read only
http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaE ... slot_count

request_slot_count :: uint [Read-only]
The number of request slots this entity has.

Yes, I know that. But if I am adding a custom entity type, that is irrelevant.

Thank you! This needs to be documented somewhere.
