As per my post there I would like to suggest that when putting in an order on a requester chest that the order be reduced until filled. As it stands right now it gets filled but remains so as you use/consume the resources out of the chest you have at least one logistics bot constantly moving over to 'refill' the original order. Then you could add a 'Inf' button or something to toggle this behaviour. Or the opposite. Either way. That way if you want it to pull 2k of whatever item. It pulls strictly 2k rather than 2000 then 1 then 1 then 1 then 1 then 1 then 1 each time the 2000 gets reduced.

I love the idea of them working as now though. As buffer chests. Since otherwise they'd have to occupy all the bots worktime for some time if we want to have it inf filled or you'd have to remember to run back and reorder stuff. I'd love TSGs suggestion added to it though. So that you can chose to only get X amount pulled there once.
