Overflow Chest

by General_Lindor

Adds an Overflow Chest which is a requester chest that switches to a passive provider chest whenever its requests are satisfied (and goes back to requester mode when the satisfaction is cancelled). Only configurable in requester mode.

This should be a default feature for standard request chests. At least a toggle you can select.

Good job. This modding community consistently amazes me.

Yes me too. The mod wouldn't exist without help from the modding community.

Btw we're not the only ones who think that way:

But i can understand why it's not in vanilla. A balanced factory should produce around as much as it consumes so the chests should always stay on the same level of items. For that the constant checks for a logistic mode switch can become a pretty hefty amount of unnecessary CPU usage. But who wants to build perfectly balanced factories? I don't.

However, thank you for the kind words.
