Recipes not set on assembling machine, requests on requester chest, filters on inserters, conditions on inserters etc when a player places entity over blueprint ghost.

Especially without early automated construction, it would be really nice to be able to place down a blueprint and then manually place the required entity over the ghost and have it fill in all the parameters from the ghost entity.

Ie. if the player places the required item, or a compatible item (eg. different inserter) over it's ghost, the ghost should configure the item placed, just as if robots would have placed the entity.

Thanks for the report,

However this isn't a bug,
So i have moved this to ideas and suggestions

Yeah I realized that after I posted it, so I made one there too. Couldn't delete this one though.

Wanted to make the exact same proposal

Any update on this? Is this going to be fixed in 0.17?

It's already a thing since 0.16.0.

You seem to be going over random posts from 2016 asking if they're going to be in 0.17 like you haven't even played 0.16 where most of them are already in 0.16.

Sorry about that. I did play 0.17 a lot, but I guess I didn't try this scenario again.

So what do you think about spidertron animations when walking near the coast or stepping over tiny lakes?

Don't tempt me with rumors of this mythical spidertron... I must know what it does...

I haven't played deep enough to know if it is in the game or now, but I suspect since I haven't seen it a technology for it that it probably isn't. Yet.
