I'd like to order my robots to replace transport belts with express transport belts.

Maybe something like an upgrade blueprint, or replace blueprint where you choose a fast replaceable group and a item for it to be replaced?

I imagine robots don't upgrade, because its just not coded in right now. Hopefully that will be fixed in the future.

when you right click or w/e it goes into a menu with two boxes

left box = replace X
right box = with y

sometimes i use cheap already existing items to plan my factory, if i could replace all wooden boxes in an area with assembler 2's then the time from plannig to assembly would be rather short.

or if that didn't work then even restricting it to the same size works too.

this way you can downgrade if those express belts are needed somewhere else more urgently.....

How do I activate that?

sorry i should have been a little more clear, but thats just an idea, i think it would be a cool thing to have, otherwise the best you could do was make entirely new BP's and deconstruct the old area
