Factorio Forums

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 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).

Just following up and saying thank you.

Yes I didn't realize it was a beta out. Loving .16
