Parameterized blueprints: Extend parameter types

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
Add "checkbox" and "select one of" parameter types for blueprints
What?
Checkbox
  • Available for: Non-dynamic value parameter
  • Possible values on input: true [1], false [0] (rendered as checkbox)
  • Use case: Enable/disable parts of the blueprint logic or requests
Select one of
  • Available for: Non-dynamic signal parameter
  • Possible values on input: predefined set of signals (like on the upgrade planner)
  • Use case: Select a signal from a shorter list when deploying BP
Why?
Quality of life changes. Will make it easier to deploy heavy blueprints, like complicated train stops. Will make it easier to share such blueprints.
Fulgora is the best planet. Vulcanus needs rework. Feel free to prove me wrong.
