Allow selecting blueprints for logistic groups

[mrvn]

TL;DR

Create a logistic group containing everything in a blueprint.

What?

When adding a logistic group to a requester one can hit the edit button and select a named group. This should have the option to also select from the blueprint library which would have the effect to create a logistic group requesting everything in the blueprint (recursively for a blueprint book).

Bonus points if the logistic group remains linked to the blueprint and changes when the blueprint is edited.

Why?

When building an outpost or a new space platform you often want to gather all the materials needed for construction before going off to build it. In case of the space platform so that the items can be send to space efficiently (instead of full rockets per each item). Currently this means looking at the blueprint and copying all the listed items to the logistic group by hand.

Have you tried dropping a blueprint on the "create logistic group" button ?
Yeah, I know, not the most obvious thing ever.

I tried dropping it into a group but not on the "Add section" button.

I did now and it's buggy.

I have a blueprint with turrets with ammo and it only adds the turrets but not the ammo:

Copy blueprint

PS: works for assemblers with modules which should be the same thing.

How did you manage to add the ammo from the turrets inside the blueprint ? I have tried, there is no "include ammo" option when creating an ammo-loaded turret blueprint the way there are options to include either modules in assembling machines, or fuel in vehicles (btw the fuel filter appears with vehicles only it seems, not with fuel powered buildings). I think a standalone suggestion just for that would make sense, maybe there is already one here : 114327.

Go into remote view mode (m) and outside the construction range of roboports so things don't get built. Place down a ghost turret and open it, select ammo and insert it. Blueprint and enjoy.

Works with everything now I believe. Ammo for turrets, modules for assembler even items in wooden chests. Anything can be a requester chest now simply by going into the remote view mode, except that the request is a one time thing. Which is actually a feature I missed a lot in the past even for real requester chests.

PS: Now if only we could do one time requests for logistic groups, blueprints and recipes with a click.
