Blueprint support for control replaced entities

[darkfrei]

Mod example: Burner Offshore Pump
Linked topic: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=77514

I have a mod, where one entity says where I can place the entity, for example offshore pump can be placed only on the water edge. After placing it will be replaced with the assembling machine, that has some recipe.

Request: by selecting this assembling machine with the blueprint, the blueprint must get the offshore pump and item for it placing.

You can replace the entities with script when the blueprint is captured

1. I don't know how, the linked topic was about it and here was no solution.
2. If it possible, it's nice to have the ready solution without script, just something like entity.blueprinted_as_entity_name = entity.name (or better name).

something like entity.blueprinted_as_entity_name = entity.name (or better name).

entity.placeable_by

But maybe it doesn't work on offshore pumps?

As far as i remember placeable_by only changes what items the bots can use to revive the ghost, not what entity ghost becomes part of the blueprint.

Better management of placement restrictions is an age old dead request of mine btw: viewtopic.php?t=54014

Yes this works, I have also two offshore pumps (burner / electric) in fact assembling machines placed by offshore pumps, and placeable_by on the assembling-machine prototype works perfekt with blueprints and Q-hotkey.

Thanks
