If you like the mod share it with friends.

You can migrate from Bob to this mod even mid-game without problems and your technology will be moved too
Check the settings before you start playing to ensure that everything is as you want it!

How to use it:

  • Right click to select the pickup position
  • Left-click to select the drop position
  • Holding SHIFT invert pick/drop
  • Holding CONTROL and pressing any button will switch pick/drop
  • Any click inside the offset buttons will change them
  • Use shortcuts with the cursor over the inserter to execute quick actions (All the shortcuts start without a key bound to them, select the one you prefer)
  • Use the in-world pickup/drop shortcut to change pickup/drop position without opening the GUI

By default, all the shortcuts do not have any bindings! check the controls to enable whether you want!

Features:

  • In-world sector to update the positions without opening the UI
  • The grid size can be 3x3 (1) and as big as 13x13 (6) + increment (!Bigger grid may cause performance issues)
  • Technology to unlock range (ON by default, optional)
  • Technology to unlock diagonals (ON by default, optional)
  • Disable long inserters and use the max grid range over all inserters (off by default, optional)
  • Stop chasing items on belts (for more info: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=370464#p370464)
  • Custom support with slim/arrow inserters, with directional and single-line options
  • Support for 2x2, 2*6, and any size inserter (in theory, tested up to 2x6)
  • Seamless migration from Bob with the technology mover

Mod spotlight:

Useful stuff:

  • Help me translate the mod in your language over on crowdin Contact me if you want to translate it in your language!

Why don't you use Bob's Adjustable Inserters?

  • Well I'm happy that you asked this, That mod is great! I used it for a looong time, but if one day Bob decided to stop playing Factorio we would lose that mod forever since it's CLOSED source, this mod is OPEN source so if one day I decide to stop updating this mod someone else can continue to update it for the community while bob's work will be lost to history.
  • Also I wanted to fix a bug inside the Inserter config and really wanted to fork that mod... the original author did an incredible job!

This is a fork of "Inserter_Config" to fix a bug and add some (+-QOL) features.
2.x.x is a full rewrite of the mod to the point that it's hard to consider this a fork, I'll leave Inserter_Config here to commemorate that mod.
