Describe the feature

A machine that applies provided upgrades to linked machines / blocks ( be it molecular assemblers or inscribers / other

Reasons why it should be considered

to not make it as tedious to make big / fun automation setups

Additional details

( inspiration from a factorio mod or upgrade planner iirc didnt play it much but was still a fun / interesting feature )

If provided multiple types of upgrades for exemple :

• crafting card
• accelleration card
  start by adding crafting one per target then accelerations to fill up the rest of the slots
  if not per machine connected by a cable maybe machines in a zone
  ( that wouldnt do it continuously but in pulses / with a cooldown / on a button click )
  ( and that would cost energy ( and like big energy is not an issue ) )

Thanks anyway for considering reading this

I honestly do not think adding beacon-style upgrade machines is a good fit for AE2.

Making applying upgrades easier... sure. But there is #7397 for that.

well this request doesnt mention cards at all
but yes if implemented like that i would be as pleased

Memory cards store which upgrade cards were applied to a machine as well.
If you right-click a machine with a memory card, it will automatically insert the upgrade cards from your inventory into the machine. That is already a feature of AE2.
The linked issue just makes it so that happens automatically when you place a new machine, as long as you have the memory card in your off-hand.

Ok i didnt know that thanks for letting me know ( that the feature already exists )
and yes would be good if done too when placing but ye thanks for teaching me and sorry for creating this feature request then :)
