A huge thanks to Ezza for the original Paste Logistic Settings mod. This is a spiritual successor to that excellent utility.

Overview

This mod makes setting up bot malls easier. You can already copy/paste from assemblers to requester chests, but this mod allows you to quickly configure inserters and storage chests as well, saving a ton of time and tedious clicking.

Features

Copy a recipe from any crafting machine (assembler, chemical plant, furnace, etc.) using control + shift + right click. Then, you can paste using control + shift + left click onto:

Inserters

Pasting to an inserter will:
1. Enable the logistics network connection
2. Set the inserter to "enabled" when the network contains less than one stack of the item

Before:

After:

You can override the stack behavior with the "Output limit" mod setting. By default this is set to "0" (which is a special value meaning "one stack") but setting it to any positive integer will cause the inserter limit to be set to that specific value (not stacks). A common use case would be to set this to "1" if you didn't want to be buffering full stacks of things.

Storage Chests

Pasting to a storage chest will:
1. Set the logistics filter of the storage chest to the item being copied

Before:

After:

Requester (and Buffer) Chests

Pasting to a requester chest will:
1. Create a new (unnamed) logistic group requesting one stack of each of ingredients for the recipe.

Before:

After:

If there is alredy an empty logistic group, it will be used instead of creating a new one. If there is an existing logistic group that contains the same types of ingredients, it will be overridden.

Note: In order for the mod to override an existing logistic group:
1. It must not be named (this is a protection built-in to prevent any unwanted side effects).
2. It must contain a filter for every ingredient of the recipe.
3. It must contain filters only for ingredients of the recipe.

Automatic configuration

Pasting back onto the crafting machine (or any crafting machine of the same type) will find all inserter/chest pairs associated with the machine.
1. For an requester chest feeding the machine via inserter, the chests requests will be configured.
2. For a storage chest being fed from the machine via inserter, both inserter and chest will be configured.

Settings

There are per user, runtime mod settings to control how many stacks or items are requested by requester chests, or allowed into storage chests.
