Hi!
Interesting looking mod! It made me curious...
Since 2.0 if you hold a blueprint and click the Add Section button in a logistics request or constant combinator, the items and quantities in the blueprint are added as requests/signals respectively.
This is pretty similar to how Blueprint reader combinator is described. However it looks like BRC still has a few features that make it distinct from the vanilla implementation:
- It reads contents from a blueprint item (I think). This could be useful if you want to do some kind of automation to read blueprints dynamically by inserting/removing blueprints with inserters etc. A pretty advanced use-case, but could be neat. (Maybe it's possible to create a dense read-only memory bank?)
- Read contents of all blueprints in a blueprint book recursively. The vanilla implementation only reads the currently selected blueprint in a book, not the whole book.
- You can make it count items of all qualities as normal.
Do I understand correctly? What use-cases did you have in mind when you built it?
