Factorio Forums

Someone asked if it was possible to request the items needed for a specific blueprint. He found a mod that makes this possible, but i was bored and also wrote a tool that that takes a blueprint and generates a blueprint with requester chests that request the items needed. Nothing fancy, probably still very buggy, but maybe someone finds it useful.

https://asdfgerte.github.io/ - should it change i hope i remember to update the post. Alternatively it's always possible to just download all files for the website. Also Github keeps older revisions anyways, it will just be harder to find.

Thanks!
That's what i'm looking for.
Only downside: Requesting great amount of items.
Maybe one chest per Item would be the better solution.

hey,

i just saw this post yesterday and thought I should share my script with you. I uploaded it on github.com/JensForstmann and is directly usable here: https://gaming-tools.jensforstmann.verc ... combinator

It puts the stuff needed to build a blueprint not directly into a requester chest, but into one or more constant combinators. If you want to request it from your logisitc network you can connect the combinators to requester chests via logic wires.
