i Feature request - way to automatically set allowed ingredients

(updated 4 days ago)

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AutoSwitchTechs has the option of automatically reshuffling research queue when researching something you ran out of science packs for, based on research packs in your laboratories. It got me thinking it would be awesome if this mod had a similar feature.

I've locally edited this mod by copy-pasting and editing relevant code from AutoSwitchTechs , and so far it works for me. I made it so that every 30 seconds, it checks for research packs in your science labs, and enables/disables allowed research ingredients (science packs) if more/less than 10% of applicable functional labs have it.
(I can provide the code on request but I don't feel comfortable publishing it, as 1. I don't know lua and never used it for anything before, 2. I didn't do any UI for it, 3. I didn't test it except letting it run for a few hours during one playthrough)

Alternatively, if you don't want to check contents of laboratories, a special combinator to set allowed ingredients would also be great.
