Module Inserter Extended

GBy Gorfiend7

Mass insert/remove modules into machines with construction robots Significant rewrite of the original, with more powerful configuration options

Module Inserter Extended

Description

Sick of having to put dozens of modules in your drills, assemblers, etc. by hand?

Configure ModuleInserter with a setup mapping machines/recipes to modules, mark the area and watch your construction bots do the hard work

Demonstration

Use the shortcuts in the bottom right or configurable hotkeys to open the configuration window (blue MI button, "CONTROL + I"), and to get the module inserter selection tool (green MI button, "SHIFT + ALT + E")

Set up a configuration using the gui, then apply it to machines using the selection tool. As an example, the configuration in the sample image will:

  • Place legendary Speed 3 modules in beacons
  • Place legendary Productivity 3 modules in labs and biolabs
  • Place 2 or 3 efficiency module 1's in mining drills and pumpjacks (only the big mining drill will get 3, since it's the only one with 4 modules slots)
  • Place Quality 3 modules in Cryogenic Plant
  • Place a mix of Productivity 3/Speed 3 modules in chemical plants, or leave any existing modules if the recipe doesn't support productivity
  • Place a mix of legendary Productivity 3/Quality 3 modules in assembling machines making legendary processing units
  • Place legendary Quality 3 modules in electromagnetic plants making legendary processing units
  • Place Quality 2 modules in any machines making processing units of any other quality level
  • All other machines will use the "Default Modules" at the top - this will fill them with Productivity 3 modules if possible, otherwise Quality 3 modules if possible, otherwise Speed 3 modules (and if that's also not possible, it won't change any current modules).

The selection tool also supports alternate selection modes:

  • Alt-select (hold shift): Removes any requests on the selected machines, leaving them with their currently inserted modules (removes requests from ghosts as well)
  • Reverse-select (right-click): Remove all modules and requests from selected machines, leaving them with no modules.

(Original mod: Module Inserter by Choumiko)

If you're looking for something simpler that doesn't require configuration to use, check out Module Inserter Simplified - it can also be installed alongside this mod if desired
