How to change the amount of ressources assembly machine accept for crafting ? Actually, it's twice the "design". But in super fast production, this is really a breakdown. Can i change this value somewhere ?

In the code, I don't know.

In the game? Nope.

Use faster inserters + logistics robots and you won't have a problem.

The numbers are proven to be the best compromise, however I think this is a bit modable, but not sure about it.

In later production you need to make use of the inserter stack size bonus. Transporting with belts doesn't work anymore, especially for copper wire it's a must to directly move with inserters.

Changing the stock level is not enough. If inserters can't keep up with 2x the ingredients, they have no chance at 3x or more.

To make inserters keep up:
1. Use blue inserters.
2. Research inserter stack size bonus. Note: this does not work with transport belts.
3. Replace your transport belts with requester chests or cargo wagons.
4. Build assembling machines next to each other and insert directly.
