Smarter Mechanical Arm Interactions With Nets
The new automation features are great, but one improvement would be nice: Mechanical arms should be smart enough to only try to put items into a net (fishing or critter) that will actually fit, instead of dumping the excess on the ground.
Ex: If a net has three open slots and a chest has a stack of 30 worms, the arm should only grab 3 worms instead of the entire stack.
This would make it much easier to automate these items!
Alternatively, you could allow the farming arms to interact with fishing nets the same way they interact with crops, which would make a certain amount of sense.

This would be so banger if they added it. As a factorio player i was so happy to see an automation upate and when i realized i could automate fishing and critter farms with it, i was sorely disapointed when i found that the mechanical arms just dump the entire chest content onto the ground instead of just the amount that the entity they are supposed to feed can hold
