I made circuit-controlled workshop units. They receive a set of items to build (along with their respective quantities) and an order in which to build them. They send requests for materials up to a train car, and they output whatever's demanded at the console.
As finished items are constantly removed, they're forever stuck working on whichever items they have insufficient quantities of.
Unlike the previous system, this one isn't designed to fluidly shift between recipes, but it's much more reliable since all assemblers now contribute at all times, and the machines don't get their outputs jammed.
Everything else exists to ensure the system is functional and easy to assemble.

I didn't like having to manually swap out sets of instructions, so now they receive them via radio.

You can talk to the machines and make them talk to each other. These talks control their actions, letting you get absolutely silly with them.
