Fulgora belt blockage control

I've figured out a beauty of a controller to prevent storage chests in a fulgora recycler factory from getting full and causing the entire production line to back up.

This is the actual control. Lay down a power grid using substations, make sure they all have both colours of logistic circuits. Well I'm only really using red here, on circuit 21. All chests you want to control for overflow should be provider chests connected to this circuit. I used uncommon chests which allow 62 storage slots, and the chest which stored legendary items were rare, and not controlled for overflow.

The selector combinator reads in circuit 21, and outputs stack size on green circuit 126 to the arithmetic combinator.
The arithmetic combinator reads in both red 21 and green 126, then FOR ALL divides red by green, and outputs green on circuit 20.
The decider combinator reads in both green 20, then FOR ALL > 60, outputs 200 of ALL on circuit 127.
The requester chest connected to circuit 127 is set to read contents, so any chest that goes over 60 storage slots recieves a request for 200 of whatever it's storing, and the requester chest feeds into the recyclers.





This is the recycling part of the factory, I am playing with the space age without space mod, which basically wraps all four planets into one, but you could still build the vulkanus production assistants as long as you drop copper & iron ore and calcite from a space platform or something.
