Module Inserter Simplified

by Xorimuth

Easy-to-use tool for inserting and upgrading modules in machines using construction robots. Use Module Inserter Extended if you want to create detailed configurations per machine type (it is a straight upgrade from Module Inserter). Use Module Inserter Simplified if you want to easily create module requests, one type at a time, without any complex configuration GUI. Can be installed alongside MI Extended if you really want to...

I didn't really do anything special, was just replacing some speed modules with eff modules. Maybe the screenshot will give you a hint:

Unfortunately I don't have a save file or repro case.

I think it happens when you've already used an upgrade planner to upgrade modules, which puts them into a weird state which isn't well exposed by the mod API. I'm sure it is possible to fix but when I tried it was a real pain, so I haven't got around to it yet.

I did not use an upgrade planner at all, IIRC I used a left click selection to fill the wide beacon with speed modules, then used repeated right click selections to replace some of them with eff modules.
I think some speed modules had already arrived but some were still just requests.
