A producer with a full storage box should stop, not save up a pile for later

A farm or mine that fills a box until the player comes to empty it needs two honest rules: it stops at the limit, and it starts again only from the moment of emptying. Here are both, plus how much was wasted.

Why this works

A full box cannot hold more, so time spent full produces nothing, and the honest way to show it is to say so. Settling up at every look, rather than working it out backwards from the last pickup, keeps the box from ever refilling for free.

When not to use it

Skip it when you want the player never to feel punished for being away, as in a relaxed game for short visits. A box that wastes output feels harsh there; let production build without a limit, or make the box very large.
