[Request/Idea] Trash Requester Chest
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 10:23 pm
A Requester Chest that is requesting items from logistic network with exception to passive providers may be useful.
For hybrid logistic factory where some resources/items are never requested by machines any item send to trash slot will end up in dead storage.
When I try to set up item injection into belt to reuse those items I have robots going constantly back and forth between provider and requester chest if the storage is clear of trash.
This is my current set-up and it simply harms the production and electricity usage.

P.S. Provider is set for rare occasions when one wants to request item to character via logistic slots.
