About Inventory Selector
From Factorio Mod PortalAllows inserters and other entities with support for dropping items to restrict their interaction to a specific inventory of their target.
When machines have multiple inventories, restrict inserter access to a specific one (or grant access to one typically inaccessible). Avoid common pitfalls of confusing fuel, ingredients, and cargo:
- Platforms waiting on a bumbling swarm of logistic bots to prepare deliveries of blue circuits as inserters sit tragically idle beside a silo?
- Finding train fuel in exciting new places after a quick stop at the wrong depot?
- Biochambers in your goldfish farm burning legendary fish food?
Never again!
What does this mod do?
Inventory Selector adds new configuration settings to inserters (or any machine supporting a drop location), allowing them to restrict their interaction with other entities to a specific inventory type. The choice of inventories available will depend on the type of entity connected, with some of these portable across a variety of targets using a set of unified inventory types. Inserters may also be configured to access inventories normally inaccessible to them, allowing such interactions as removing items from input slots, or adding and removing modules from any kind of machine.
