I tried to make a small turret outpost that copies itself, thus lengthening my wall every time the nearest buffer chest fills.
Problem is, while it does 99% copy itself, the bots don't put a blueprint book into the copied deployer chest - even though I put copies of the relevant book in a provider chest nearby - so it doesn't grow beyond the first copy.
Is there some mod I should use, to let blueprints specify that they contain a book with a specific name?
I did a quick test, and requester chests don't seem able to specify a particular book to look for, either, so if I used those, it'd be a crapshoot whether a given outpost got the 'expand westwards' book or the 'expand eastwards' one...
(I do realize I can copy the book via the copy command, as long as they are connected by the same network - which they are - and that alternately I can put the deployer in a central location and simply vary the coordinate input. I just want to know whether this particular approach is workable or not before I rejigger all the logic. )
