Mass Upgrade: unable to upgrade factory due to inventory limit

I run into a pretty weird problem... I was unable to upgrade the factory because hit into inventory resource stack limit! The problem is that I have over 30km of belts and hundreds of lifts... so when you select "Go across junctions", the cost s skyrocketing! 😕 It literally limited me out by inventory max size. I guess it may happen because I may some two factories very close to each other and they use resources of each other by belt, so kinda they are connected after all... o_O Or I just built a gigantic factory with over 6.000 machines in it.. But whatever the reason, there is a real problem when you trying to upgrade a facility, small or big, but you have limited resource.. you sometimes want to upgrade it gradually or by inventory capacity, or just because your PC is not durable enough (for me 20km upgrade froze my PC for a good 5 minutes)... so need a thing to avoid doing it in one go, yet upgrading lots in a mass-upgrade event! I would suggest two modes if there is not enough resources, to mute the main "upgrade" button and add two more buttons: 1. "Upgrade as much as you can", e.g. until you reach limit of resources in your backpack\dimensional storage 2. "Upgrade only 2\3\4\5\etc deep", so it will go not go across all junctions, but only 2\3\x levels deep. Sound pretty useful if you do not need ultimate upgrade across everything (e.g. end lefts to machines after manifold, for example) Please let me know what you think 🙂 @Marcio <Checkers/Copier/WallSup> P.S. the screenshot is after I disconnected some connections and updated the factory by hand quite awhile\alot.

P.S. The "hack" I found to solve this is to upgrade lifts first... then it consumes resources. Then you upgrade conveyorsbets AND downgrade lifts...!! so it calculates refund from lifts in between a single operation, so you finally reach feasible inventory limit!! and that is the only way for me to bypass the restriction 🙂
