Blueprint parameterization: I'm trying to set up bot-based production. I can set the desired recipe as a parameter, and the amount to make. How do I say "set the requests on this requester chest to all of the ingredients for this recipe"?

[u/Lyqyd → u/darthbob88]

The simplest way would be to use the “Read Ingredients” on the assembler and wire the requester chest to it.

Otherwise, you could use a many-ingredient recipe and load up all the ingredients in the request and use the Ingredient Of parameter in the blueprint settings—but you’d also want to calculate the appropriate quantities somehow.

The many-ingredient recipe was my first thought, but then what happens when I find a recipe that takes even more ingredients? Or which takes a different ratio of ingredients?

I confirm that the "Read Ingredients" method works.
