tldr: i am looking for a way to handle fluids on a full bot mall.
here is a picture and the bps to show u how i want it and what i have so far

explination of the blueprint so far
to use the blueprint u need to set it up:the red wire is comming off site. it carries what needs to be made in positive numbers and what needs to be recycled in negative numbers.
this red wire goes to a decider combinator. this decider combinator has alsow a green wire going to an constnt combinator.
this constant combinator has saved the items in levels
as i think levels are not commenly used i explain it in this spoiler sections
------------------------------
levels are: number of steps needed to craft an item.
iron ore comes from the ground and is level 0
to smelt an iron ore into an iron plate (using smelters) u do 1 step, so iron plate is level 1
to turn an iron plate into a gear u need another step, so gears are level 2, same with iron sticks and steel beams
uranium ore is alsow mined but when mining it consumes sulferic acid.
as sulferic acid is level 7 uranium ore becomes level 8
the level of an item can be calculated as: "the highest level of allingrediënts +1"
as you go trough the game and unlock new recepies an level of an item can change
early game iron plate is level 1 as you need to just use a smelter.
late game you need to mine both iron ore and calcite to melt the iron ore into molten iron(molten iron is level 1) and then cast it into plates (level 2)

the selector picks the item of lowest level first (if an item has a low level it is more likely to be used in higher level items)
the red wire from the selector is going to the machines that produce and is just set to "set recepie"
the green wire is going to an isolated assembler with both "set recepy" and "read ingredients"
this way it doenst give wrong info to the other assemblers
the "read ingridients" signal is clamped between 0 and 10. and there are some items i always want into a requestor chest. these are items that are commenly used (think of gears)
the clamped signal is fed into all the requester chests with the setting "set request".
the goal/request/chalange
now for the hard part.in the middle is a pipe, that pipe can use multiple fluids. think of belts witch uses lubricant and concrete wich uses water.
i have the barrels on the robot network. i just dont know how to unload the fluids into the pipe.
once done clear the pipe
and repeat.
other info
i am now using this solution but it is not optimalalsow added my calculator to see what items i want in the base for testing purposes
if you made it this far thank you for reading this absolutly error infused piece of text and i hope a solution will come fast.
cheers. B
