You should still be able to build (I am assuming) the normal inserter even with this mod on. This mod only adds recipes that allow you to "upgrade" certain machines. You can still build the inserter or assembler without having to build its previous machine (burner, etc.)
Look at this for a moment: http://i.imgur.com/jTf21tP.jpg
As you can see, there are duplicate icons. These represent the two ways of making the same machine. One is the default recipe, the second is the "upgrade" recipe (which uses the precursor machine).
I hope I answered your question. Let me know.
