Fast transport underground belts doesn't work, when you build next to asteroid grabbers

Now this one is very interesting bug. I wanted to start my asteroid crushing and guess what? Where's those ores are? Stuck. Why they are stuck? After 10 min i found it. Asteroid grabbers. Those have some weird stuff and some areas you cant have undergrounds.

Look what happens when you build a collector:

Those red squares are where there can't be any platform and it will be removed when you build it. And underground belts can't traverse empty space.

Now what?

Those tiles are empty, there's no space platform there, so the underground belt cannot move across. Fill those three tiles with platform and see that it will start working (though I don't know if the belt will auto-connect, but I would expect it to).

Or to put it differently - move your collector one tile to the left, it should work then.

Ahhh that explains. Didn't think there would be actual empty space there. That space feels like it should be available to undergrounds. Even if it is hidden by a machine.
