I.e. when hovering over an input slot of an assembler, highlight that in the inventory just like it works for manual crafting GUI. It gets especially tedious during "Lazy bastard" achievement when your inventory is clogged with all kind of stuff for temporary manual crafting via temporary assembler.

I.e. make this situation Look like this situation

Looks reasonable. Implemented for 2.1.8.

Great, thanks!

For quicker manual filling of machines, you can press the Inventory Transfer bind (Control + Left-click by default) on an empty slot of your inventory, which fills in the recipe with items from your inventory due to only those items being accepted in the fixed slots.

One more on that, would also be nice for modules And (not a big deal), they don't flash for some reason for recipe items

Highlight for allowed modules is too much of a scope creep as it would require finding all places where lists of items show up like modules, furnace, burner fuel etc and i am not interested in handling all of them. Not doing that.

As for flasing, i used solid highlight for recipe ingredient, not a flashy one.

kk it's a minor stuff anyway
