Command to quickly switch modules

Post by Zaydan »

Give the (Ctrl + Click) command on machines the ability to switch between different types of modules, not just the same type.

It is currently possible to initially place modules with (Ctrl + Click) and to upgrade existing modules from level 1 -> 2 -> 3 in a given machine. I don't see why it isn't logical to allow this same command to switch module types if the player desires.

Example:
If I have a row of electric furnaces with Productivity modules and decided that I want to switch them over to speed modules, there is currently no way to quickly switch them. You need to manually go into each machine to remove the old modules first (or deconstruct it). This becomes very troublesome if you have hundreds of furnaces/assemblers that you would like to change.
