I often find that my extractors aren't keeping all my processors completely supplied with materials. I would like the option to turn off structures not being utilized to free up the power grid in order to set more extractor heads. Once the remaining processors can't keep up with the supply, I would turn off extractor heads and turn back on the processors

The current way to do this by destroying and rebuilding processors, and having to set up the supply routes again

The change a while back to the extractors was great, but there's more to be done.

This is a constant battle for me as well.

I was trying to think of any downsides to this, but coming up blank. Can anyone think of any?

Well its a bit of a maximizer feature..

Since the reason you cant online them is because your pulling out to much stuff..

So even though as a ease of use aspect, there is a potential effect on highly increasing supply of materials and thus dropping value..

Some PI user interface improvements would be very nice though..
