Way to auto-load blueprint items
The blueprint requires many items, and I want all the items from the blueprint in my inventory or request chest or spidertron. Is there a possibility or a mod to do this? Like you click magic button on blueprint and you get (temporary\single) request and bots will carry items from blueprint to you.

I can create mods, but there is a faster way, by tempting fate. The Modder's Curse is that someone else always makes it first.

"That's a great idea. I should create a mod for it!"

There. The mod now exists, surely, and has likely existed for years. (The more popular it is, the more useless my effort in creating the same thing, and this is what the curse tries to maximize.) I won't be able to find it until after creating the same mod, but you could find it in the next place you look.

I would have actually created it. It only worked because I really would have done it. If I searched, I wouldn't have found anything.

But no Spidertrons, Chests, or Cargo Wagons, hm. Combinator would be good too.

The one I personally use since some time ago and works perfectly for me is called: Blueprint Reader Combinator[mods.factorio.com], it's just a small combinator (simil constant combinator) that has a single inventory slot where you put a blueprint item and it gives out the BP content as signals.

Why? If you have a requester chest on the network then just put a droneport down and let the drones build it. Why are you over-complicating it? Most factories have assemblers. inserters, etc etc, just carry a stack of each around, the inventory is more than big enough.
You CAN shift click on a factory and requester chest and the chest will set up the items required for that factory to work, but what is the point for a blueprint? Just set up your inventory right and you will always have the items to build anything and you can do the same with spidertron logistics and then send that out to build ♥♥♥♥.

If I cover the entire base with roboport - logistic drones also will fly from end of the base to the other end of the base.
With mod, I can just take the blueprint and press the magic button to get all the blueprint items literally into my inventory (Blueprint logistics requests mod)

Ah yes the magic button that makes me not have to play the game. Spidertron literally has the same logistics requests/trash options as the player character, if you set it up right it will ALWAYS have the equipment you need to build any blueprint and it will always replenish any item it is missing when it comes into range of the network. You already have the tools you need to do what you want.

Or you can use the mod to only request what is needed, no more no less. If you don't find that be useful in any scenario, then good for you. no need to bash someone who plays differently than you.
