Set platform request based on set combinator and current storage amount

[wispy pebble]

I would like to set a constant combinator with items and amounts that I want to request, then subtract my current storage amounts and output the difference that is higher than zero to the space platform. Mind that the storage might have other items that I do not want to request, so it needs to somehow filter out only the ones in my constant combinator

I somehow got to the point, where each - each produces double/sum, instead of subtracting. I have no idea what I am doing, can anyone help me? It's probably stupidly easy, but my brain cant do it.

You're trying to auto set requests on a space platform with fixed values?

[wispy pebble]

I don't undestand this. Why setting Each not equals to each outputs the difference

[austere breach]

Or on a landing pad?

[wispy pebble]

yes, like to always request up to X amount so it doesnt overflow

[austere breach]

Uhh

You can't just set requests in the hub manually instead?

[wispy pebble]

no? i take out all items from the hub to request chests. If i set it on the hub, it would always request another batch of items, when it gets empty, even though items would still be in the request chests, if you get what I mean

[austere breach]

You can't do that
Chests are incapable of being replaced on a platform without mofs

You should have specified that you're playing modded
Also if you need more space cargo bays work

[wispy pebble]

what

i am setting the request on the planet

what are you talking about, ofc chests cant be in space

[austere breach]

I asked space platform you said yes

[wispy pebble]

oh, sorry

landing pad...

[austere breach]

On planetside just make more cargo bays is the simple solution

[wispy pebble]

but you cant pump items from them

[austere breach]

What do you mean?

If you mean you can't insert out of them
That shouldn't be an issue you can get 15 stacked belts of throughput from the pad alone

If you mean bots can't take from it
They can

The pad is one passive provider

[wispy pebble]

that looks trippy

what about bots tho

[austere breach]

What about them?

[wispy pebble]

do i like build landing pad for each resource I need? would that be better?

[austere breach]

No

Again bots can grab directly from the pad

You also can only have 1 pad per surface

[wispy pebble]

wait, really?

😄

[austere breach]

I only said it twicr

[wispy pebble]

i think i have shown that i cant read, tho i appreciate your patience 🙏

how do you handle multiple item types? for single type its fine to keep and take from the hub, but what if i need to use all 4 sides like you have on the picture and take quickly items from the landing pad and sort them out?
