Limit Request Chest Copy

A lightweight Factorio mod that caps item requests when you copy settings into logistic requester chests.

Features

  • Configurable Multiplier
    Set a per‑user “Stack Size Multiplier” so each request is limited to stack_size × multiplier.
  • Zero Performance Overhead
    Only hooks the on_entity_settings_pasted event and iterates existing slots.
  • Multiplayer Friendly
    Each player can choose their own cap, preventing accidental overstocking on shared servers.

Why Use It?

  • Prevent blueprints from requesting thousands of items by mistake
  • Keep your logistics network lean and predictable
  • Simplify chest balancing across large factories

Installation

  1. Copy the limited-request-copy folder into your mods/ directory.
  2. Launch Factorio (v2.0+).
  3. Go to Settings → Mod settings → Runtime per user and set Stack Size Multiplier.
  4. Paste requester‑chest settings as usual—your limits are enforced automatically!
