[0.18.8] Cargo wagons no longer align with 6 inserters when there is an S curve in the track.

What did you do?

Updated to 0.18.8

What happened?
The base stopped working.

It appears the latest update has changed how the game deals with which inserters can interact with a cargo wagon, I dont know whether this is intentional or a bug.

This image shows the difference:

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
That it would work as it has done for years.

Unfortunately this is not a simple case of moving the inserters up 1 tile to fix it as the builds rely on the alignment to work.

You may have been lucky "for years", but stations with curves were never officially supported.

Yes, unless something changed on pure horizontal or vertical tracks I don't consider any changes around trains on curves bugs; since we never intended for them to work in some specific way.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
