[0.15.5] fast insert changes to fast remove once hand empty

[malventano]

Problem: While running past a bunch of boilers while using the nifty new 'fast' interaction, once you've run out of coal or ore to insert, the continued mouse button press instantly changes to fast remove and instead strips items from the units. This is problematic when manually feeding items like burner mining drills or boilers with fuel, since you potentially end up unknowingly strip some of the units of fuel. I can think of no scenario where this would be the desired result.

Recommended remedy: fast interaction 'direction' should remain static for a given mouse press duration. The transition from fast insert to fast remove should only be possible if the button is lifted and re-pressed.

That's just how the logic works: if there's something in the cursor it's transferred into the entity. If there's nothing in the cursor stuff is transferred out. The game doesn't know which one you're trying to do - just that you're holding CTRL + clicking the entity.

If you're holding down the mouse button for fast insertion, it should remain in either an insert or a remove state. When you let go, then it should be able to switch between them.

Exactly. This really should be considered a bug. The direction should lock per mouse button hold down, otherwise you accidentally shut down a bunch of boilers if your hand ran out of items to drop, or you start grabbing output items from factories when you were intending to insert them, etc.
