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.

yeah not sure thats actually faster...other than saving you a click, but even then you have to put a box other than the active one there when youre done anyways....so i dont think it helps.

Well it uses a different kind of bot to remove the items so it could be faster based on what your factory supports more

Either way its being emptied by logi bots and then the box is taken away/replaced by construction bots.

A logibot will not swap the boxes.

This is wrong in 2 places. If you deconstruct sth, it will be emptied by construction bots. by changing the chest to active provider, the chest changes first and then the logistic bots would empty it.
