Currently there's speed upgrades in RS that export or craft items/fluids as fast as possible.
But this is not what you always want, sometimes when you try autocraft an item with a machine from another mod, this machine can't handle it if all the items get dumped in 1 go.

Would it be possible to create a speed downgrade item that you can insert into crafters. This speed downgrade will only allow RS to craft an item 1 at a time. So for example, if you request an item 8x, it'll export 1 amount worth of materials, wait for the machine to craft and insert the item into the network, before continueing with the second craft etcetcetc

This can easily be achieved with crafter modes.
