[0.16.42]Stack Inserters Change Pickup Lanes Too Often

[dead1ne]

When pulling from a fully compressed moving blue belt stack inserters unnecessarily and harmfully pickup from the far lane after emptying the near lane. This results in stack size overrides of 9 and 10 both exceeding the throughput of 11 and 12 for most orientations.

5 minute throughput

Code: Select all

Stack  |  Moving  |  Stopped
   12  |    2769  |     3930
   11  |    2868  |     3732
   10  |    3000  |     3675
    9  |    3000  |     3686
    8  |    2668  |     3348
    7  |    2332  |     3073

This is not a bug, ideal behaviour is not intended.

A 25% drop because the inserter is stupid and spends 8 ticks to change lanes, grabs 1 item, then goes oh more items in the near lane lets get those for anther 8 ticks seems more than just not ideal to me. Even more so when mods can not address the issue without making extension speed irrelevant and unrealistic.
