For the inserter missing items problem... I had this problem years ago with burner inserters. Here's the thought I had back then...
I think the inserter movement speed is fine as-is, but they should detect upcoming items on the previous belt segment so they have time to line-up to grab the items.

There should be an easy way to convert a pin to a tag, and tag to pin.

Re: Friday Facts #349 - The 1.0 plan
Saving: Old = 285.429s New = 2.847s That is an insane speed improvement. :shock: Also, that old save time is absolutely ridiculous. Almost 5 minutes to save??

Re: Friday Facts #345 - Unit group collision mask & Artillery shell particle
Looks like I'm not the only one that wants a slight delay to be added to the shell casing ejection. 8-) As for the pathing, that looks great, but my only concern whether they stay as a group when they change to attack mode. Hopefully they act as individuals when attacking so the unobstructed ones ca...

Now that Loaders are gone, we needed a new 1x1 Consumer entity which the player must use inserters to fill. What about a delivery drone?
