In most cases where an inserter is inserting items into a destination (smelter, assembler, etc) where either the input or output buffers are full, the inserter will display the message "Waiting for space in destination" in the mouse over window.

There are 2 situations I have discovered that instead show the message "Waiting for source items":

1. Inserters inserting fuel into burner miners

2. Assembler recipes that (at the least) involve a fluid output (like unbarrelling) where the fluid output is full, but the non-fluid output is not.

It'd be good if these could be fixed to be consistent with everything else.

For reference see 99191. At least the thing about the burner mining drill was already reported.

I had done a search with keywords “inserter”, “destination”, and “message” and didn’t get any hits. Apparently I used the wrong keywords.

Thank you for the report. This issue, along with a few more similar ones, will be resolved in the next release.

Thank you!
