Make generator equipment fuel part of the blueprint

TL;DR

When making a blueprint of an entity with a generator equipment in the equipment grid, it should be possible to also save the fuel for the equipment as part of the blueprint (similar to train fuel)

What?

When making a blueprint of an entity with a generator equipment in the equipment grid, it should be possible to also save the fuel for the equipment as part of the blueprint. Here is a train where that would be useful:

: Generator equipment fuel; 09-17-2026, 00-31-11.png (363.36 KiB) Viewed 91 times

If i blueprint this train, i get no option to also save generator equipment fuel:

: blueprint; 09-17-2026, 00-34-30.png (326.42 KiB) Viewed 91 times

What i am suggesting is to add a checkbox to also save fuel that is in the equipment grids of vehicles of that blueprint, so when i place that blueprint, robots deliver fuel for the generator equipment once when built.

Why?

The way that trains go into automatic mode once fully built, and how it is possible to save vehicle fuel as part of blueprint sets a precedent that this should be possible. But since it is not possible, it makes it awkward to build trains with with a generator equipment in the equipment grid.
