Add a "Add Max Stacks" to machines

[Reshieff]

It's ridiculous that I have to button mash on every compost bin or recycling machine to fully have it running the max amount of resources it can make. The devs need to add a button that just fully maxes out the queue to machines when you have enough of the resource in your bag. The issue is compounded when you have 5 or more of a machine and are stuck button mashing on each one each day.

Definitely a +1 from me...

I would agree if we didnt have automated chests, else i would never do that upgrade if it would that easy to fill machines by hand

Automated chests are very different from just a add max to queue. Automated chests do way more than just auto add to machines. they work as conveyor belts to, well, automate processed. Have a furnace and a kiln next to each other with the kiln being fed wood to make coal and the furnace being fed the coal and ore to make bars without you needing to do inputs on your end. Same example for a kelp extractor and a kiln but with stone instead.

Automated chests remove the need to have you constantly going to the setup to run it. Adding a button to just add max stacks to the queue just removes the need to spam a button. Unlike with automated chests, you still need to interact with the machine and make sure to collect the output and reset it with more material.

Also, automated chests are something you get later on in the game in the later part of year 1 or so depending on your progress. There's no reason to not add a button to just add max stacks to a machine. It's pure quality of life
