Blueprint Signals (continued)

YBy Yenz

Read a blueprint (or book) and generate a set of combinators containing the items to build it as signals.

Description

This is a progression of the original mod "BlueprintSignals" by GaticusHax.

Since the author is absent and I improved the mod a bit but no new version got released, I release it here. See below for a list of changes compared to the original mod.

Blueprint Signals (continued)

Blueprint Signals will read a blueprint (or book) and convert it to a set of constant combinators containing the items to build the blueprint (or book) as signals. The combinators can then be connected to a circuit or logistic network to request the blueprint items for construction.

Instructions for a single blueprint

Shortcut button: Convert blueprint
Shortcut button: Convert blueprint

While holding a blueprint (or book), press CTRL+ALT+S (configurable) to convert it. Alternatively press the shortcut button while holding the blueprint.

A new blueprint containing one or more constant combinators will be generated, holding all the unique signals for the blueprint items and counts. If holding a blueprint book, this will also work and will only convert the active selected blueprint.

Instructions for a complete blueprint book

Shortcut button: Convert blueprint book
Shortcut button: Convert blueprint book

Works the same way as for a single blueprint, but the key sequence is CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S (configurable). Alternatively press the shortcut button while holding the blueprint book.

Instead of converting only the active blueprint it will convert all blueprints and nested books.

Settings
