Assembly machine blueprints selects correct item

Post by VikingGawd »

I am just really getting into this game and I just found out about blue prints which are amazing. I am really looking forward to getting bots.

But since I do not have bots one thing that is annoying and I think can be solved easily. If I drop a blueprint that has an assembly machine in it with a selected item. When I manually drop an assembly machine it goes in blank. Would be great when I put in the machine that it automatically takes the item that was on the ghost. Option 2 would be to re lay down the blueprint and it will change the machines to be the correct item.

I think with bots from videos it works fine but early game manually it really adds time which could be sped up even more.

This is implemented in 0.16.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

I tried last night and it didnt seem to work correctly.

Am i doing it wrong?

make new blueprint, lay it down somewhere, add assembly machine. The assembly machine is blank and I have to set it.
I then go and try and overlay the blueprint before setting it again but still does not pick up the changes.

This is vanilla and i have never tried mods yet. I use steam so i think i am on 0.16

Does Steam say "Factorio [0.16.x]" on your list of games? 0.16 isn't technically stable yet, so you have to manually enable it. Right click on Factorio in your list --> properties --> betas --> 0.16.x (or 0.16.20 if you don't want it to update automatically).
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
