Assemblers - I want to input number of items to be fabricated
Currently, the construction queue doesn't let you to input the quantity of goods to be made. Yes, you can hold ctrl for 10, shift for 100, shift + ctrl for 1000, but it doesn't get any more precise than that. If you wanted the components for 25 small grid drills, you would need to hold ctrl and click 2 times, then you had to click 5 times. Or maybe you hold ctrl and click 3 times for 30 small grid drills, and not care that you are assembling more components than you need.
So what I want is the ability to put in a number and then click the number of blocks you want. The assembler would then start assembling the components needed.
If you were feeling generous, other features I would want is a clear all button would (to clear the production queue), a pause button (so you plan what you are assembling), and a means to see blocks you are building components for instead of seeing a bunch of components (I have saved games and came back not being sure of what it I was building).
I like this feedback
FWIW, at least for the use case you described, you can order entire blocks in components, either in the assembler screen or through the build planner function.

This feature could be useful for when building "x" specific amount of components to trade with a station, making the trading part of the game not so tedious in that regard.
Even a simple Ctrl + RMB on the part to open a dialog box to enter the amount you want to build would do it.
