More Dumb Quality Questions - Blueprints & Better Quality Items?

[Locane]

Is there a way to tell bots to build with the best available quality of an entity? I have a massive accumulator array, and some assemblers producing accumulators with quality mods in them. Every once in awhile, they produce something better than the regular one, but the bots ignore it when fulfilling the blueprint request that I put down to build my accumulator tile.

Is there some way to tell them to use the best available quality accumulator that I'm missing?

It's not possible to tell bots to build with the best quality available at a single spot, you could place blueprint of different quality at different location if you want the bots to pick ups every accumulator of higher quality as soon as they are ready.

Alternatively you could place only the tier of accumulator that you have in higher quantity, and once in a while use the upgrade planner with specific quality level set up to upgrade a square of the previously built accumulator of lower quality that match exactly the quantity of higher quality ones you have available in the network when you decide to upgrade.

Thanks. Seems like an oversight given that we can filter by item quality type on an inserter and through the circuit network.
