TL;DR
Let Storage Chest specify multiple filters, blacklist/whitelist, and option to trash unfiltered items.What?
Presently, the Storage Chest allows a single item filter.Storage Chest should be updated to have a similar interface to inserters - allow specifying multiple filters and option to set blacklist vs whitelist.
Further more, Storage Chests should have a 'trash unfiltered' option similar to 'trash unrequested' on Requester Chests.
Alternatively, add a 6th chest type (white?) "Supply Chest". Although it should be unlocked along with Storage Chests.
Why?
- I use Storage Chests as a dual-purpose supply and dumping ground for personal logistics and malls.
- Would allow Storage Chests to act as storage for multiple, but limited set of, items, for better organization.
- The Buffer Chest does not work for this as it doesn't allow storing excess beyond the requested amount.
- Presently, bots already en-route ignore the filter and don't attempt to "clean" the chest. 'Trash unfiltered' would fix that.
- General versatility and choice.
