[MOD 0.15] ModuleInserter 2.0.0

Module Inserter

Info:

Sick of having to put dozens of modules in your drills, assemblers, etc. by hand?

Configure ModuleInserter with a setup for machines, mark the area and watch your Pocketbots do the hard work

Mod at work

Configuration

Click the buttons(grey squares) with the item or module at your cursor, to set what module should go into which entity. To remove entities/modules click with an empty cursor.
To clear modules from entities only set the entity without modules.
Craft the module inserter item (it's where blueprints/deconstruction planner are), mark the area where your machines are and watch your bots.

Notes:
- Modules will first be taken from your inventory, if you don't have enough it will take them from the logistics network (for entities in logistics range only). The fake entity that is used to make the bots fly to the machine is inserted into your inventory. So it will only work if you have a personal roboport and a couple free slots in your inventory.
- Marking an area with ghosts in it will remove the ghosts. So better wait until all ghosts are built
Special thanks to kds71 for making the Upgrade planner. ModuleInserters GUI and ruleset config started by copying the whole mod

The robots "upgrade" it in a faked way, once they are at the building the modules get inserted and removed from your inventory.
Yes you can mix different modules, look at the image in the Configuration spoiler, the Assembling machine 3 will have 2 different modules in it.

it is clear there is a WIP mod. But maybe you are interested in the following error message:

Error in assingnID, item with name "cyber_beacon_50" does not exist..

Talguy · Post by **Talguy** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 4:26 pm

Holy Crap! Awesome idea.

GUI Suggestion: add an option to use icons instead of entity name

Makes it take less screen estate and module colors are almost universally remembered now.

What mods are you using?

That's kind of planned, just very low priority as i'm actually playing more than modding at the moment

Alexs · Post by **Alexs** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 7:03 pm

I have a lot of mods, but actually almost all without problems

Choumiko · Post by **Choumiko** » Tue Aug 25, 2015 8:16 pm

Updated to 0.0.2

clearing slots/entities is done by clicking with empty cursor
only go to entity if not already in list
check if trying to insert productivity in beacon or assembler with forbidden recipe
fix error with Cyberchest mod

Updating from 0.0.1 will delete your stored rulesets/configurations.
The check for productivity modules is a bit hacky, due to missing API methods.

Sorry for bothering your gaming session.
Bug report :
Trying to add Productivity Module into electric furnace.

Is it because what you said ?
API limitation ?

It's because i never tried inserting a productivity module in my tests

And for the gaming session: Haven't played 1 second on my actual save today anyways.

Fixed in 0.0.3 : https://github.com/Choumiko/ModuleInser ... _0.0.3.zip

fix crash when using productivity modules in furnaces
fix inserting modules in assemblers without recipe

Thanks,..
Lol, i used to mod skyrim although only animating/texture.
Too busy to mod, never even past the first village in game.

I love this mod very much!
Now it is one of my favorites! Excellent work! Good idea with the icons! thx !!

Ps: Can you make even those icons for your mods as the modder from advanced logistics system?
This could help to save space ...

Updated to 0.0.4

only send bots when modules need updating

Sure, i thought about adding a console command to toggle the button, but icon would be even better

Alexs · Post by **Alexs** » Thu Aug 27, 2015 6:23 am

I look forward to it. It will definitely look good

Choumiko · Post by **Choumiko** » Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:05 am

I think i like yours better, looks more like a button. Mind if i use it in the next release?

It is an honor for me, and I translate the "locale" also like in German, if you do not want to do it yourself that.

A super-mod!

Feel free to translate, i play in english, so everything Factorio related in german sounds really really strange to me
