Due to the complexity of belts, because of all the optimizations, this is not easy, so bear with us.

This, I agree with this. I also like the idea of differentiating common inserters (yellow, blue, red) which should not compress belts and stack inserters which SHOULD. Would be really intuitive. So to sum up my list: - Sideloading: YES (obligatory) - Undergrounds: NO - Miners: YES - Inserters (commo...

If you're not using blue belts, put a faster belt as the "recieving" section for the slideloading belt to load onto. This has the effect of "opening" gaps in the flow, allowing the side belt to put items on, before the slow belt compresses the flow again. But if your belts are al...

there is a thread on side loading in progress.

Thank you!

I like all of the changes in '16 that I've seen so far apart from sideloading won't compress belts anymore. I think this is a step backwards, and here's why. Watch this short video, see how the side-loaded bottles force their way into the flow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOzwQeOE1VI So, I reckon...
