[2.0] Add option to output machine speed based ingredient amounts

Post by RoseQuartz »

When the settings of an assembler are copy-pasted to a requester chest, the requests of the chest are set to the amounts necessary for 30 seconds of crafting.

For the iron gear recipe in a tier 3 assembler this would be 150 iron.

When the ingredients of a recipe are read from an assembler via circuit wires, only the static base amount that is needed for one execution of the recipe is output.

For the iron gear recipe in a tier 3 assembler this would be 2 iron.

This seems far less useful, especially considering that the primary use case for this is probably to set the requests on a requester chest.
I think it would be very convenient to output the same amounts as would be output when copy-pasting the assembler settings (maybe with a smaller time frame). Since the static amount may have other uses, having an option to select between the two modes might be even nicer.
