Component Machines auto feed Welder blocks

It would be quite useful if a welder block could be automatically fed the components it needs, by the component machines.

Example: Build a "welder ship" with a Smelter, Refinery, Assembler and Fabricator all tied together with conveyors and storage blocks. When using the ship to weld a projection the components would be automatically created in the proper component machine and fed to the welder.

This would make building anything so much easier and faster. We would only need to fille the cargo container with the proper ores and the components would automatically be created and fed to the welder block being used to make the projection. The component machines are already doing this process for other components. The welder blocks just need to be able to "que" the components it needs and be fed to make building things quicker and easier.

Hmm I feel an incoming "This is equivalent to backpack welding, with all pieces" flame war...

That's a logic idea, do we want to automate everything in the welding department? I don't know..

It's pretty much the equivalent to the production MOD in SE1 when a certain amount of parts can be set to always have (say, 2k steel plates) but in-game instead of a mod.

Pondering..
