Hi,

in http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.13.11/Lua ... y_settings
it is specified that the function returns objects

Return value : Any items removed from this entity as a result of copying the settings.

I wonder what kind of objects it can return, because it seems that this function does not copy modules (which I can understand).

But, it seems that it does not copy circuit settings either, which could nice, no ?

Infact it copies filters, requests, hash bar.

If you copy a recipe onto an assembling machine for instance, and it has items inside already, it will return those to you

Ok, thx Klonan.

To precise the documentation, the return is a dictionary of counts indexed by name of items.
(and not a list of ItemStacks or whatever)

By the way, do you have an idea on this one :
