Requester chests overflow ?

[binbinhfr]

Hi,

I notice that robots sometimes want to do more than expected.

In the following case, I'd like one full stack of each item, but it ended often with things like this...

Note that there is no other work on this chest : I just empty it and wait for robots to come
We could expect that when the target is complete, then coming robots are refused and maybe wait close to the chest?

Don't use the red blocking with logistics robots or leave at least one more slot per each incoming item type.
Bot is allowed to grab up to stack size of items even if they exceed the order - this causes situation you are seeing.

Ok, so it's not a bug.
But I wonder why they can do that... I ask 10 and they give me 12...

They always take the maximum they can carry if available, so when you upgrade the cargo size it can overshoot.

Ok that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
