Is there any way to limit automated production of something? I don't need 700 water wheels right now, but as far as I can tell my choices for end products are "don't put it in a box and the machine stops after a couple of cycles" or "put it in a box and the machine happily makes a billion of whatever it is". Am I missing something?

if you put items in a box, you can fill the rest of the box with 1 item, like limestone, and it will only put one stack of the item in the box, note if you want to take from the box, you will want to use a filter inserter to make sure it only takes the correct item, unlike factorio, the inserters are dumb and will take whatever is in front of them
