Thank you! This is what I was looking for because I just wanted the slight quality of life of being able to ghost my thoughts out in the early game, without it being a useless spend of energy because I would need to replace the item fully. The Pipette key to fulfill a single ghost at a time feels extremely natural. I think this is balanced and should really be a natural part of the controls.
It doesn't remove the drive for bots at all but makes gameplay more fluid. (And I enjoy some of the early game as long as I can fully make use of creating my own blueprints/ghosts :D)
