Replacement planner for upgrading the base

[Ingolifs]

I'm imagining something similar to the deconstruction planner, but when you drag a rectangle over the items, you logistic bots replace them with the highest tier of the same item type you have in your inventory.

Direct upgrades include:
Tier 1 assembler--> tier 2 -->tier 3
Stone furnace--> steel furnace
yellow belt --> red belt --> blue belt (+ undergrounds and splitters)
yellow inserter-->blue inserter (--> stack inserter?)
wooden chest --> iron chest -->steel chest (-->passive provider chest?)
small power pole --> medium power pole
Perhaps they could also put in the next tier of module, too.

I've been regretting putting these 8 to 8 red belt balancers all over my base and coming to replace them with blue.

I know the feeling. I'm not going to bother upgrading my existing yellow belt bus on my current (and likely only) game of v0.15 vanilla. Having to replace all those thousands of belts by hand is just too daunting a task. I'm just going to launch the rocket on yellows (even if it does take a few days) then go back to playing with Klonan's Upgrade Builder and Planner mod for my next game.
