how to limit storage capacity per rack level?

Hi, I have a question,

I'm trying to organize the items in the rack according to the tag value, so far everything is ok, but I don't know how to limit the maximum number of items stored per level.

Hello @Edmilson Ml,

I edited the code and added in an if statement that checks that there is space in the slot. You can see this if you select the paper scroll button next to the slot assignment field in the properties of the rack.

To make sure this works I added a sink and a minimum dwell time to your rack so items empty out and new items are still able to fill in as room is made available.
