the "smart" part on an inserter: < instead of > as default

Post by djnekkid »

Hello Devs (I hope!)

Now I can't produce any stats, and others might feel otherwise but:
Mostly I use the "smart inserters" (circuit network or logistic network part of the inseters) as a "how much do i want" limiter,
and thus I need to change the "more then" (>) to "less then" (<) ALOT!

Would it be possible to change this default behavior, or maybe even better, have an option where you can choose the wanted default behavior?

Anyway, hope you read this, and concider it!

I'm not saying I support this change, but I do almost ALWAYS use "less than".

Having read this I started paying attention, and I also almost always end up using <.

If you start defining the resource before changing default '>' to '<', the inserter starts inserting which is a pain. Having '<' be the default would remove that annoyance, and certainly reduce the amount of clicking (I to almost always use them in '<' mode).
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.
