quickbar handcrafting

[SuperMad]

Hey, I am not sure if this is due to an update or I just used a mod for this before but when I run out of lets say a transport belt on my quickbar (which is memorised onto slot 1) when I pressed 1 it used to automatically craft me one.
Now I noticed I need to go to my inventory and que one manually. Where this feature at?

Never heard of that feature, so it's probably a mod.

There is a setting that will automatically let you place a ghost if you run out of things. If you are at the stage where you have logistic robots, they will then place the item from storage somewhere else. So basically that is the only way that the "quickbar handcrafting" that you talk about would work.

You probably imagined it.

I can't imagine that a mod can do this either because the behaviour you want explicitly conflicts with the "pick ghost item if no items are available " interface setting which implies that the intended behaviour is to either do nothing pick up a ghost when you click on an quickbar slot with no items.

It's a mod. I've used it before too.

That mod does not do what OP requested: the mod you posted starts crafting automatically WITHOUT the player having to click on the quickbar.

Or maybe the OP ran out of the items while placing them or didn't notice the progress was already going on an item when pressing '1'. I thought of HandyHands from that description too.

Just take the L, man. It's okay not to know of a mod, lol.

If you run out of belts, run to the place where your factory produces and fills a chest with them. Grab a few stacks and carry on building. Later on you can automate the delivery with logistics robots, you only need blue science for that tech.

Basically you produce belts at the green science. I have a belt with iron plates and gears, and i just let it go past to another assembler that makes the belts only for building. Then passes the belt further to turn yellow belts into red belts too.

cant remember being a mod like this, but there is 1 that allow you to craft the item you have your mouse over by pressing Q, this will try to select the building first and if you don't have any of them in your inventory it will queue 1 for crafting
