Super-force upgrade to yellow chests with filters

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
Add ability to perform upgrade from steel (or any other) chest into a storage chest with set filters without deconstruction.
What?
Upgrade requests should have be able to store target entity setting(s).

Why?

Steel to filtered logistic storage chest is a very common and handy upgrade. Having to do it in two steps (upgrade planner steel to logistic, wait for bots to finish, overbuild blueprint with filters) is just busywork and leaves a time window for the unfiltered chests to get cluttered.
