Machine Input/Output unset

[Valytine]

Is there a way to change the inputs/outputs on machines without deconstructing them and rotating them? Some sides just say "input unset" and I can't figure out if there's a way to change that.

There's a button on each input/output that changes its function.

The only machines I’ve seen like that is are the ones with pipes.
Like the cast machine has to have water on the left side (from the console) for concrete.

Yeah currently I'm setting up distillation columns and casting machines, but I was hoping to have my casting machines facing a certain way, which isn't possible due to how it requires the liquid to be input into a specific side.

I finally just got to the point of the "input unset" problem and understand now. Wow, that's really annoying.

This is something they should have changed from Factorio, let us pick the input side.

Thank you for posting that! I couldn't figure out why my casting machine wasn't wortking.

Maybe they could add a recipe we need to research for a tool that could make us change the input/outputs?
