If we're going to have fleets of trains equipped with all sorts of new upgrades, we could use a way to copy and paste common setups.

Just have copy-paste automatically insert the equipment to make a 2nd entity's grid identical. (Copy-paste while in inventory too?)

Could this be extended to assemblers and their modules? (Not needed, as bots handle this as of 0.13 through blueprints, but if modules and equipment insertion could be abstracted into a common feature within copy-paste it would be amazing.)

You mean: If possible, when you copy an assembly setup it should already fill/replace the modules from the player inventory and not wait for the bots?

Modules are a secondary concern, given that blueprints contain modules as of 0.13.

Copying and pasting equipment grid layouts filled from the player's inventory if possible would be far more helpful.

That said, after doing some research I believe a mod should be able to do both. But it would be a good addition to the base game!
