Let Inserter not grab item when placing them.

Post by SirHannes »

Hi,

the mod says, it's not a bug, it's an idea, so I write it here again.

What:
When I place an inserter, it grabs immediately an item. In my case, often it's a wrong one and I have to delete the inserter to get rid of the wrong item.

Solution:
Let the inserter not grab immediately things. OR: let me grab that wrong item, e.g. with pressing key "F" and hoovering the mouse over.

When I ask for features or improvements, it's because I like this game and I think, others could like it too.

Build the building first, and place the inserter after. In that case, the inserter will on ly gram things the building needs.

Notre: if a building without a recipe is there, the inserter won't grab anything until the building gets a recipe.

This is also true of ghost buildings.
