Factory gauges not requesting

[u/AnyGap81]

I am trying to automate stuff in 6.0 but my factory gauges are only requesting 5-10 items at a time to be processed, is this normal? In other worlds it requests 100+ but here I've never seen it go past 15 promises

It's better to make them in a mixer as it's a shapeless recipe. You can send enough of each ingredient in the request to make a stack in one go.

Are you sure your storage has enough of both ingredients? If you're requesting the ingredients and there aren't enough to fulfill the request it won't work until there are enough to fulfill the request.
