let's hope belt compression gets sorted out soon .

can you do the same with inserters ?

tell them to put the item in the other side of the belt?

please that would make them easier to build some complex belt layouts

Have you an example where you see magnificent problem without this inserter ability? To make an inserter fill the other side of the ...

I used them for shoveling coal into my boilers (before having solar/nuclear), after I discovered than when the coal ran out and the power went off, it would not auto-restart due to the other inserters requiring electricity

I don't see anything wrong with that.
I see why underground belts don't compress any more.
