The status for a burner inserter reports what appears to be the incorrect state when waiting to load an item into a coal miner. Specifically, when the belt line is full, and thus the miner not mining, and at max coal (5) that an inserter will insert, the inserter reports "waiting for source item avaliability" where a more accurate description may be "waiting for space in destination".

Thanks for the report however I don't know what you're talking about. Can you please post a save file showing the issue and or some screenshots?

The burner inserter has enough coal available, but still has "waiting for source items" as a status. The burner mining drill has enough fuel inside and it is coal and not any other fuel. This is clearly a duplicate of viewtopic.php?f=48&t=69086

The case described by the OP looks like this:

Did this get fixed? Or did you want a save file?

From my testing the issue still exists. Just try the setup in the picture above.

The topic I linked above is fixed however. So apparently I was wrong saying it was a duplicate.

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