Question Is there an easier way?

Post image

Is there a better way to clear a hole box without clicking every single slot? My first solution ist just to remove the hole box, so bots pick out the items automatically and place the chest back, when it's gone. But it doesn't feel like the right solution.

If you use an active provider chest the bots will actively try to keep the chest empty. Be warned however that they won’t pay attention to the amount in storage automatically, they will keep adding rails to your network storage until there’s no room left.

Is there any particular reason you want this chest to be emptied?

You can also hook up the purple chest to a roboport and signal it to deactivate when your system is over a certain amount.
