I have a lot of extra stuff in my logistics network. I use buffer chests to pass stuff to the network for building. I want to use buffer chests further away as well. The problem is if I put a buffer or requestor chest at the beginning of the production line so extra stuff goes back on I can't use provider chests at the end. My more distant buffer chests would work but it would make a loop. So my buffers aren't buffering. What do?

Only Requestor chests have the "request from buffer chests" option. So no.

Imo, buffer chests are meant to be used as a buffer at the output location. Not a buffer at the input location. If you need to buffer the input location you just have a requestor chest, then inserter, then steel chest, then inserter, etc.
