edit: this problem got solved i overlooked the fact that robots take more than they need to fill up their carrying capacity sorry.

Dear Dev Team

While trying to set the Request of a Requesterchest using the Circuitnetwork the Requesterchest requests to many Items. My Setup is as Follows:
A Constant Combinator has the amount of items the Cargo Waggon should have in negative Numbers. The ConstantC. is connected to a arithmetic combinator together with a Trainstation which reads the contents of the Train.
Since the ConstantC has negative numbers in it the positive ones from the train cancel each other out if the right amount of items is in the train. The ArithmeticC. is set to 'EACH' * -1. the output of which is finally connected to the requester chest which is set to request Items.
I would expect the requesterchest to get 50 inserters delivered but instead it gets 52, the inserters are only an example it happens as far is i can tell with other items too. It seems like it requests in multipels of 4.
I'm sorry for my bad English.

with best Regards

Isn't that a issue of the drone cargo upgrade? (the drones carry more stuff than needed)
cause it's requested they get fully loaded

edit: https://wiki.factorio.com/Worker_robot_ ... (research)

so u got +3 boni = drones have 4 cargosize

if u want to avoid the chests getting stuck cause they are full, may just say u want to fill it to 47

to get the train loaded with exact itemnumbers u also have to rethink the inserter

Oh yeah your right sorry for the inconvenience
