Crane functionallity

[Marum]

Right now, cranes are an awesome addition to the game, allowing for automation and production lines. There is one or two small things that area really holding the crane back tho:
It seems the crane can output to different cards at the same time, although with what criteria im not sure. I was trying to grab stone from a stone magnet to place into a stone chest and into a brickyard, but it seems to always try to put the stone into the chest, even if its full. It would be amazing if the crane didn't attempt to put items into full chests, and if there was some clearer indication as to how they choose targets.

Example:
Brickyard <-Crane- Stone Magnet -Crane-> Stone chest
The crane on the right will more often than not take the stone and try to put it into the full chest, resulting in loose stone

You don't really need the Res. Magnet if you have a Res. Chest. Once you've set the chest to stone, all the stone mined will go to the chest.

I'm trying to get the crane to drag any produced food from a stove to a hotpot, can't seem to get it working?

I think you need a buffer for the output first. Try (omelettes as an example):
Oven -> omelette magnet -> crane -> hotpot

Stone magnet -> Crane -> Brickyard -> Resource chest (Brick) works fine.

But some other configurations can be messy. E.g. I have two animal pens that produce poop and I want the poop transported to dust bin.
So the setup is:
Poop magnet /Poop chest -> Crane -> Dust bin.
It works most of the times, but the crane and dust bin work about the same speed. Poop arrives at the dust bin when its finishing removing the previous poop, sometimes it just removes the new poop that just arrived as well, but sometimes the new poop goes beneath the dust bin.
It is really messy, poop everywhere.
