Minecart station logic is broken

[Zapp Brannigan]

They just take the first stack in the stations inventory. I've got iron and copper going to a station to be transported to my factory, but it's just taking whatever is in the first inventory slot. So iron is filling the first slot, and copper the second. The copper never gets taken and is just filling up the station's inventory. I tried using two carts, but the second cart just ends up taking the one or two pieces of or that fill back in after the first cart leaves.

Yes definitely needs work.

It needs an "Export full stacks only" option. I'd also like storage modules to have a new export belt connector that is for "overflow" i.e. it only starts exporting when the container is full.

just use multiple station and for each the iron or copper filter

This is the best solution. Ideally in end game you could have a large railroad, with each station collecting/routing only one type of ore/item, to be processed in it's queue (crush, smelt, craft, store or sell).
