Is there an easier way to have many OR AND wait conditions?

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

I tried wait until any = 0 but it triggered on things I wasn't unloading at that stop. Would be nice to have an AND inactivity that applies to all OR groups, or at least insert a new condition here rather than scrolling up and down so many times.

This is for a platform that keeps an inventory of items to stock up on general building supplies on other planets.

NVM just figured out send contents to platform. I guess I had never attached a wire to the hub.

Nice to hear you found something with combinators :)

Maybe it's also possible to achieve with schedule, but instead of "any = 0" there is a condition with "any request = 0" ? Not sure if that's what you meant or tried but supposedly you can have like 10 differents item loaded at Nauvis, then the platform goes to Vulcanus and orbit there waiting for Vulcanus to request materials, and when one of the thing that was requested on Nauvis is becoming 0 on the platform, it can trigger such conditions to go back to Nauvis.
