Copy recipe output to filter of storage chest (QoL: Copy recipe From Assembling Machine to additional entities)

Yes, you could replicate a filtered storage chest with a buffer chest requesting 0-9999 of an item, but that feels more finicky, is technologically more expensive, and disables an achievement (even if you already have the achievement, it matters when playing coop with new players!)

Granted, the functionality of copying assembler output to a buffer chest doesn't exist either. I suppose either existing would be convenient, but the storage chest feels like the more elegant solution!

It should be configured for max requests instead of 0, otherwise bots won't deliver items back in the chest. However, by doing so you mess up "read requests" behavior of roboports.

You're right, it does mess that up (as well as any other buffer chests you have lying around that actually want that item). Definitely all the more reason for using filtered storage chests then!

Please implement this. I was recently setting up a bot-based mall. All produced items were stored in a storage chest so that my logistic bots would automatically store the excess items from my inventory in the same box where assemblers were storing it. I had to set up the storage chest filter manually and it was such a pain. It would be amazing to simply shift-left click to set a filter, the same way I can setup requester chest.
