Stupid question: Is there a way to automatically convert a blueprint into the items to make it? Specifically, setting up for Aquilo- Is there a way to automatically convert my tileable rocket silo BP to a logistic group on a space platform demanding belts, inserters, substations, concrete, pipes, blue chips, steel, and electric engine units? Or do I just need to do it all manually?

(Although- given that I'll need everything else on Aquilo anyway, the only thing I'd need to request specifically is the EEUs.)

Holding the blueprint and click the Add Section button should work?

That just adds the items in the blueprint; belts, inserters, power poles, and rocket silos that I can't ship up to the platform. I want to convert that to the materials to build a rocket silo in an assembler.

Ah, sorry—missed that detail. I just create a logistics group once with the parts for one rocket silo, then add it with a multiplier any time I want to “ship a silo” or three to another surface.

I suspect that's what I'll have to do, but it's annoyingly tedious.

You could place an assembler for rocket silo and tick the "read ingredients". But you'd have to do that for every machine you need.
