This is a progression of the original mod "BlueprintSignals" by GaticusHax.

Since the author is absent and I improved the mod a bit but no new version got released, I release it here.
See below for a list of changes compared to the original mod.

Blueprint Signals (continued)

Blueprint Signals will read a blueprint (or book) and convert it to a set of constant combinators containing
the items to build the blueprint (or book) as signals. The combinators can then be connected to a circuit
or logistic network to request the blueprint items for construction.

Instructions for a single blueprint

While holding a blueprint (or book), press CTRL+ALT+S (configurable) to convert it.
Alternatively press the shortcut button while holding the blueprint.

A new blueprint containing one or more constant combinators will be generated, holding all the
unique signals for the blueprint items and counts. If holding a blueprint book, this will also work
and will only convert the active selected blueprint.

Instructions for a complete blueprint book

Works the same way as for a single blueprint, but the key sequence is CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S (configurable).
Alternatively press the shortcut button while holding the blueprint book.

Instead of converting only the active blueprint it will convert all blueprints and nested books.

Settings

Mod settings:
- Create temporary/persistent blueprint
- Limit the number of signals per constant combinator
- Connect multiple constant combinators with red and/or green wires

Control settings:
- Hotkey to convert a single blueprint
- Hotkey to convert a complete blueprint book

Changes compared to the original mod

  • Add support to convert complete blueprint books
  • Updated for Factorio 2.0
  • Add module support
  • Add config to limit signal count per combinator
  • Fix missing signals in some cases
