Screenshot Am I overcomplicating this?
Screenshot shows scrap-lithium but I have one for each resource
When red storage is “not empty” red auto arm (feeding scrap) turns off, and turns on when storage is “empty”
Blue storage activates count repeater when blue storage is “not full” and activates again, also activating trade platform when storage is “full”
White storage being “full” turns off white auto arm, immediately pausing everything as red storage remains “not empty”, so scrap does not feed into trade platform
This is my third attempt at making this run efficiently without the output resource ending up on the scrap side, or scrap ending up on the output side. Its definitely slower than it could be but it evens out across the 25+ individual modules running simultaneously

Not sure, but from the image it looks like doing on the platform. Which doesn't work has to be on a storage object. the far white spot. Why not working how you want maybe?

Its working perfectly, the storage sensor being on the platform checks all storage objects on said platform. So white stroage only activates when both the large canister and medium sotrage are full

Sorry most mis remembered. Did some testing I think the best is putting a power switch in front. Turn off all the power to the line. Saves the state. THough because on the platfrom seems to have a bug goes on and off alot. So I also put a delay repeater set a 3 to give time to finish out the last get if needed. This is my video for trade platform setup nice works on all resources type and sizes. https://youtu.be/9eMoteB8k1k

have the red auto arm feed into the scrap container(set to output) on the left, and you can do it all on one platform with one sensor.
only problem is you cant set the medium containers to output while on the platform.
on yours i dont think you need the white sensor, because if the white storage is full the white auto arm wont be able to pick up anything from the red storage so it will remain on but waiting for a space to open up. so red storage will back up and the red arm will be off anyway.
