  Features:
    - Tired to walk all around base to change some buffer chest request setup ... so I add new 'Turret Buffer' item.
    - Work like vanilla buffer BUT automatically broadcast his requester setup on change to other Turret Buffers through logistic network, and is able to auto-configure itself from logistic network when laid out.
    - Turret Buffer do not required any processing time at mod level.
    - Turret Buffer has 12 request and 20 inventory slots.
    - Early game version available for 'robot world kind of guy'.

    - Reloading process slightly reworked for some UPS gain.

Version: 0.8.11
Date: 2020.05.18
  Changes:
    - "Auto Interface" user setting is now default to false. This to avoid unsollicited map update following mod update or migration. Please check this setting manually.
    - Added a consistency check. If any interface/turret couple stay "invalid" for 25 reload try then it will be auto-removed from repository and no longer managed (but items stay on map waiting for bot or manual rebuilt).
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix (hope so) a random crash while moving/blueprinting many interface/turrets at the same time with bots randomly deconstructing and building all of them.

Version: 0.8.10

        Optimization of some factorio API calls.

Version: 0.8.6
