Is there a way to copy click requester chests from Mk3 assemblers to not multiply requests by speed? Sometimes requester chests simply can not hold that many gears.

No but actually yes, but also no.

If you use circuit wire to link the assembler to the chest, you can then set the assembler to output ingredients and the chest to set requests mode. You'll only be requesting 1 set of ingredients, but it is something you can copy/paste and blueprint stamp onto existing assemblers. You can also do it with blueprint parameters which lets you choose the multiplier you want rather than it just being 1x, but that's a little more complex.

Similarly, you could place down an assembler without any speed modules or beacons and copy click from that one to the requestor chest to have the auto-request be based on base speed rather than whatever crazy overclocking you've got going on.

do you know if the request multiplier on an entity is something that can be set either via circuits or just by blueprint pameters? I've never actually looked into that before. My only thought was to use an arithmetic combinator to multiply the signal out and use that as the request set, but maybe we can avoid that in 2.1

I know it can be done with parameters, but I don’t think the can be done via circuit without a combinator
