Paste Logistic Settings

by Ezza

Adds the ability to paste assembler/furnace recipes onto Storage chests to set their Logistic filter, and onto inserters to set a Logistic connection condition allowing one stack within the network.

The base game has built-in functionality to be able to paste from an assembler onto a blue requester chest to set its filters, but no such functionality exists for storage chests or inserters (other than filter inserters). I created this mod to assist in quickly setting up bot based malls (see usage).

This mod adds the following features to the base game copy/paste system:
- Copying an assembler/furnace onto a logistic storage chest will set its filter to the assembler's recipe.
- Copying an assembler/furnace onto an inserter will create a Logistic connection condition allowing one stack of the recipe within the network.
- Copying a logistic storage chest onto an inserter will create a Logistic connection condition allowing one stack based on its filter.

Usage:
- Shift+rightclick to copy from the assembler/furnace and then Shift+leftclick the yellow storage container to paste the recipe into its logistic filter, similar to how you would paste settings onto a blue requester chest.
- You can also Shift+leftclick either the input or output inserter to quickly configure a limit of one stack within the logistics network.
- You can additionally Shift+rightclick a yellow chest with a filter set up and then shift+leftclick an inserter to set a one stack logistics limit. Useful when quickly pulling off a belt when there isn't an assembler involved.
