[Suggestion] Assembler - add missing actions to hotbar

Greetings,


The way the Assembler works currently only allows for switching the (assembling/disassembling) mode from inside the Production tab, along with the Repeat mode.

When assembling mode is on, the ingots stay in the assembler, even when using an conveyor sorter or a connector with the appropriate settings. On the other hand, if disassembling mode is on, you can empty the Assembler of everything.


The suggestions are:

  • Add a toggle action for (assembling / disassembling) mode using to the hotbar.
  • Add separate actions for assembling and disassembling mode using to the hotbar.
  • Add a toggle action for (enabling / disabling) Repeat mode using the hotbar.
  • Add separate actions for enabling and disabling Repeat mode using the hotbar.
  • Add separate actions for Cooperative mode on and off using the hotbar.


With these changes it would be easy to program Timer Blocks to flush the Assemblers when they get clogged with ingots during manufacturing, and the production stops. Also, programming a 'one button disassemble everything' may come in handy when ingots are required to fulfill a delivery contract. Expanding on the hotbar actions allows for more flexibility using the current mechanics of the vanilla game, without having to rely on custom scripts or investing on creating new assets for the game..


Thank you for your time.
