I just created a spinoff of this mod because I had some issues with it and there doesn't seem to be any active development. I changed the sprite to (almost) match the vanilla linked chest, minus the robot bay, and changed the recipes and research a bit to better suit where I think it fits into the game.
you can find it at https://mods.factorio.com/mod/aechs-linked-chest if you want to check it out, or if this version doesn't fit your game.
