Feature request:
Add to an assembler & Co an option to disable the buffer when add a red or green cable.
Just 2 option: Normal Buffer / 1x Buffer

Why:
When you make an automall its just overfill the machine massiv ... and when switching recipe then its need to empty the assembler.
That takes forever, and preventing with combinator is quiet complicated and stuck often.
Would be nice when it just input that what the item really need and not more.

Alternative:
If you dont want it in the base game it would be nice to change size of buffer with modding.

Thanks for the great game and that you read my request!

make circuit connection behavior configurable per wire is reportedly planned to be added in Version 2.1. This will hopefully make it possible to "Read Ingredients" and "Read Contents" separately. With this feature you would be able to enable/disable the Inserters which feed a machine when the Contents exceed the Ingredients signal without resorting to Memory Cell Shenanigans.

Good Luck!

Perfect, thanks for the link & Infos!
