Nanite Control Factory - Automated Construction (Not working - Old Version)

Nanite Control Factory queues duplicates of components
I'm building a sort of mobile command center with lots of storage, oxygen tanks, reactors, refineries, assemblers and of course the nanite control factory, so that I have something that can power and fuel new bases.
Now, this means that the whole thing must work together pretty well. This also means that the nanite control factory should be capable of queueing the components it requires at assemblers.
While it is capable of doing this, it queues the required amount of components at every assembler that is allowed to take orders from the nanite control center. Since I had to build the command center in a quite compact space, it's not really possible to build multiple assemblers next to each other (such that one is the master and is allowed to take orders, while the others are the slaves and don't take orders.).
Is there any way that the nanite control center queues the amount of components it requires, distributed over all assemblers at its disposal, without queueing the full amount at every assembler? Or, do I really have to only allow one single assembler to take orders? Because this would limit the assembling speed by quite a bit.

PS: I suppose logfiles aren't really necessary here, since nothing is wrong with the nanite control center, it's just that I wonder if some feature could be changed.

Ive had that problem, like 960 thruster components for a large thruster, and nanite like Quads that amount over the assemblers, even over just 1 :(

For one assembler, it actually does not do that for me, as long as you only allow the factory to queue the needed components at one single assembler.
But, I really need a fix for this, because it annoys me a lot.

indeed :(
Specially as if you try to add or move the production order, it will push other things in front, such a item you do not have the resources to make, so you need to disable the factorys assembler button JUST to stop that or produce the other item

Well, that's a problem that the assembler has, not the NCF.
