Open Book Inserter

Move the blueprint or blueprint book in your hand into the currently open blueprint book with one key press.

How to use

  1. Right-click a blueprint book in your inventory to open it.
  2. Pick up a blueprint or another blueprint book while keeping the destination open.
  3. Press either Shift key. The held item moves into the destination's first empty slot.

The action happens when you press the key; holding Shift does not repeatedly move items.

Features

  • Uses the native blueprint-book window; no additional panel is needed.
  • Moves whole blueprints and nested books.
  • Preserves blueprint settings, labels, icons and nested-book contents.
  • Prevents inserting a book into itself or its descendants.
  • Leaves unsupported items and full destinations unchanged.
  • Configurable shortcut under Settings → Controls → Mods.

Requirements and compatibility

Factorio 2.1.23 or newer in the 2.1 branch. Space Age is optional. English and Russian translations are included.

Works with physical inventory items. References from the blueprint library must first become inventory items.

Can be used with Blueprint Book Shelf. Open Book Inserter targets the book window you have open; Blueprint Book Shelf targets a hovered shelf row. Rebind actions if Shift is already used by another mod.
