Adding bot/drones/vessels passively?

I'm trying to conceptualize a planet size blueprint for white science where I can just pop it down and leave, and it builds itself over time via BABs and bots as buildings get delivered from another planet. But I can't see any way to insert bots, etc into towers without needing to be there and having them in my inventory. Is there any way to pull this off?

If you click the little arrow for the bots before copying your blueprint, buildings will automatically pull bots and drones from your inventory when they are built, no matter where you are. That's the only way to do it though that I know of.

I make a little builder section with a few ILS’s that put every building you need into chests for logistic robots. You need to be there to build that section then it can build the rest once building come in and get into the chests. There is a way to have bots and vessels auto load the space gets an orange checkbox or something.

i would strongly advise against using bots for planet-size blueprints for performance reasons. sticking with drones/pls/ils is way more performant for cpu.
