Any way to quickly insert single modules into furnaces?

Post by thatguy321 »

Hello,

I know that you can run along and hold CTRL key down while a module is in your cursor and click on each furnace and it will insert modules in every slot. But is there a way to do the same thing but only insert a single module? It is tedious to have to enter the gui for every furnace as you go along if you have a lot of furnaces. Thanks for any help!

Also it would be nice if there was some kind of deconstruction planner which would allow you to highlight a huge area and remove all modules, but leave the buildings in place.

The "module inserter" mod helps with mass insertion of modules. I'm not sure if it can also mass remove them, I've never needed that.

I know this might be some sort of Power Necroing and I normally don't do that, but since this is one of only two results popping up on google if you search for this kind of problem AND I found a solution, I thought it would be nice/fair to share it here, so the next guy landing here, will be happy, too. =)

Solution: You can add single Modules by "dropping" them over the desired building ( Z key by deafult, check shortcut settings if needed ) like you would do if you drop stuff on the ground or belts.

This way you don't have to use mods in case you're on the hunt for Achievements.

Have a nice day folks!
