As for preventing the inserters from jamming, I could move the content of their hands into the overflow chest. That way they'll hopefully be able to start working on the new recipe right away.
Adding the rocket part makes sense. I'm not quite sure how to go about it tho. Maybe I could just hardcode it as a special case...
The refresh rate is not exactly intended to be changed if you're not starting a new game. It effects the data structure, which is currently only generated once when the mod is initialized. That said, decreasing it shouldn't actually crash the game as increasing it would, which sounds strange. Could you maybe send me the error you got?

Thanks! I had a lot of fun building it.
I know there is a mod that has some special inserters that can fill a train without jamming. But even if that could be adapted it'd be nice if this mod could work with any inserter.
The rocket part, I mean honestly I can manually decode that one as well, check for some alternate signal and produce the results. That's just a slightly 'nice to have' but not nearly as important as something like the inserters.
It was a null/void object error on line ~100 I think in entities.lua if I recall, I think the get_assembler() bombs out when the assembler is removed. It was stuck (not setting the recipe) so I picked up the assembler and that's when it crashed, or when I rotated the crafting combinator. It's true the combinator was built when the mod had the update rate set to 60, then I saved, changed it to 6, and reloaded. I'll try totally disabling the mod, load game so the items are removed, changing the rate, and re-enabling it and see if it works OK like that. As you can imagine for my setup, being able to switch extremely fast on a single machine is valuable, and there's only one machine so the UPS hardly matters.
Thanks again!
EDIT: I was able to modify a blueprint string to make a combinator output the 'rocket-part' signal, and the crafting combinator works perfectly with it. So all you would have to do is add rocket-part to the 'crafting combinator recipes' tab that you added to the constant combinators.
