Items per minute on storage containers

I’m planning my starter outpost, and I’d love to be able to set a speed limit on storage containers. In-game I don’t care enough to set up some sort of priority system, but the modeller shows all these orange machines if I send the output (for instance iron rods) to both some machines and a storage container as it tries to split it 50/50 (or whatever it is trying to do).

I can solve the orange machines using a priority splitter, but that’s pretty clunky; in-game I’d just use a manifold and wait till the container is full.

On a dimensional depot I can set a speed limit in the modeler, so the problem doesn’t exist there, but on a storage container I can only set it to empty, partially full and input=output (which all seem to take as much as they can) or full (0 items/sec), and both (or all four) ways make a machine orange, it just changes which one.

I wouldn’t care about the color per se, but it not only changes the color, it also messes with the numbers.
