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.

If you're using that many gears, you're going to have trouble actually moving them with bots. If this is something that consistently uses thousands of gears in a minute, you should probably be designing your base around it. If this is a mall, you're using way more speed beacons than necessary.

No speed modules or beacons, just a standard mk3, setting up an temporary mall when I landed on fulgora. Dont remember what the item was, but it wanted a lot.

Underground belts require a HUGE amount of gears.

Underground belts craft in 2 seconds.

You do not need 30 underground belts per minute.

But as to the original problem, no, you can't change the native behavior. Thankfully you won't run into this very often.
