inserter limit

Hello ALL,

Is there anyway of limiting a inserter to pick up a certain amount of items.

E.g
i am trying to find out if it is possible to limit a inserter to only pick up 5 "used up uranium fuel cells" so that I can equally balance multiple centrifuge buildings all working on "Nuclear fuel reprocessing.


many thanks

there is a override stacksize option.

combine that with circuit networks to parcel out items at a fixed rate

When you link an inserter to a circuit network, you get this :

Just check the box and write 5, and you'll make stacks of 5 at most :)
