Add Volume Counter To Material Transporter

[vonVile]

I know it will be a hassle to add with all the materials, but there needs to be a number/volume counter on the Material Transporter like with the Crusher or cookers. I just want to send a specific amount to another planet, not everything. It could be based off number of trips a Dupe delivers a material.

Have you tried the meter valves? They exist for solid, liquid, and gas transport and can help you do exactly what you want (i.e., allowing only a specific amount of material through), with some automation.

No, but  I shouldn't have to go through all that.

I did think up an easier way. Just have the Material Transporter have an assigned number for drop off of materials for a Dupes. Dupes can drop as much material they can carry that amount of times. If you need more material you can set it again. Very simple!
