Whilst this is not appropriate as a base game feature, I can see this being entirely doable by a mod.

Press B, or click the icon in the top right of the screen, to enter the Blueprint Library.
You can store blueprints in there. There are two tabs. One tab stores blueprints within the current save, the other tab is available across all saves.

If you need to transfer blueprints across different ...

Looks like the discussion tab in the mod's page has your solution.

Good news: this feature has been in the game for a very long time.

Head into the settings menu, navigate to Interface settings => Interaction and enable "Pick ghost item if no items are available".

Enjoy picking ghosts from the inventory, from entities in the world, or anywhere else.

Thanks for the updates and resolution of this Donion - makes sense that it was introduced in the latest batch of patches as I wasn't experiencing it until recently.

Understandable, thanks for looking into it. Hope you get some time to rest and feel better soon!

I've been experiencing this one recently too.

Unfortunately I have a similarly vague cause, simply doing some building on Fulgora. Sound works correctly for a while, but then after an hour or so some sounds stop playing intermittently, including sounds on other planets.

After manually placing a quality beacon over a normal beacon ghost with module requests, those module requests are ignored by the logistics network.

Noticed a visual parameterisation bug whist messing with storage chests. Super low priority.

Brief explanation:
The entity tooltip for a filtered storage chest shows an item count on the filter slot, defaulting to 1. When creating a parameterised blueprint and selecting constant 1 as a parameter ...

New ways to pollute the world, excellent.

One thing that's always bothered me though is Sulfur production. Sulfur is present in hydrocarbons yes but the process of removing it from the gas (or naptha or coal or w/e) shouldn't destroy the input hydrocarbon. For example, desulfurization of naptha ...

Hi, thanks for the mod, I enjoy it much. Nicely extends the base without completely overhauling it.

Reporting a bug - recipe for sulphur with use of naphtha has swapped order of ingredients, which is, I assume, what's causing the pipe inputs on the chemical plants to also change. Which is mildly ...

Super-useful, I keep leaving my car in stupid random places xD

Just updated the mod, the canisters now work properly with the bob's ones.

Do you know if it will work properly with bob's mods set?

Sadly, the canisters I added will not currently work with the bob's mods canisters. I will add that when I get the chance.

Could you expand on that long description? I'd say that's more of a nice, short description. What new recipes are ...

Thank you very much! It works now!

Whoops, I do have that, just copied the wrong code into the code boxes. Fixed it now.

Hello. I have just started writing a mod for Factorio and I cannot seem to get recipe categories working.

I followed the tutorial by Klonan, and got a mod working up to that stage. I then added a custom recipe, and got it showing up in my new entity.

I then wanted to add a custom recipe category ...
