For anyone looking for this mod for 0.16, it's available here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Automatic_Coupler_016
Like mentioned in the description of the mod, all credit goes to GotLag for creating the original mod, Hopewell for fixing the automatic mode bug, and bitbased for making the mod compatible with 0.16.
If the original author at any point wants to update his mod to the latest version of Factorio himself, and would like my fork of the mod to be decommissioned, please contact me.
