Note: 13-Jun-2017 This is in factorio v0.14 format so you'll need to convert it. As a v0.14 build it also does not iclude any of the v0.15 items for nuclear buildings and/or ammo.
A single, centralised place where you can set the maximum limit for every vanilla item that you would like in your logistics network, and output a signal that tells your factory how much it needs to build.
On the red wire to the power pole in the screenshot, the output is the difference between what you have set in the combinators, and the amount in your logistics network, which is being read from the wire connected to the roboport. You can then connect all output inserters in your factory to the red wire, and use the circuit condition:
[item_being_made] < 0
Notes:
The combinators are laid out in the same order as the game crafting menu. There is an empty constant combinator in this build where you can set limits for any non-vanilla items that any mods might produce.
