The "loader-1x1" entity has to be placed one tile further for north and west to be able to work
Setting the container_distance to 1 fixes it.

Might do with some fast and express versions as well.
As well as items to place them.
And some graphic change to show they are actually 1x1.

You define the container_distance in the prototype. The base game one exists just so save files can be loaded without the mod(s) that added the entiteis. It's not meant to actually be used.

I've changed the base game dummy entity to have a container distance of 1. But still it's not meant to actually be used. Make a mod and define one properly with proper graphics if you want to use it.
