The idea hit me when i was setting the 10th Requester chest

The ability to copy settings of a chest over to another
I was setting up my Science Pack 3 Assembly Lines and choosing all 4 unique items is repetitive


Then i took this idea a bit further and thought.. Maybe we could copy or make blueprints
For example i have 3 furnace setups i like to use depending on how much ore i need to process
Light, Medium, And Serious Mode
If i could copy the layout and print it (If i had the required items in my inventory)
Or just Setup a machine in the bottom right of the laid out blueprint that would accept the items in the area that are required
A great place to put a requester chest indeed !

Maybe allowing the player to set a template for the smart chests. E.g., a "set template"button in the item selection menu. "Name template" option appears, the player sets it, then just selects it from a dropdown menu in other chests. Seems like a neat idea!

Yea i like that
Simple and easy

Now how bout them base blueprints ?
