Interesting, especially the "rail interaction" part. Any details/docs?

Does "containers" also include non-container entities with an inventory, e.g. crafting machines?

Loaders can push/pull from rolling stocks starting from 1.1.75 because i was playing a certain modpack and i was missing this feature. Basically if allow_rail_interaction is set to true (or kept at a default value which is also true), a loader will search for a rail and subsequently search for a rolling stock which will be then passed to the shared update logic of a loader to push or pull items from an inventory. All other interactions that are not Rail/RollingStock are going through an "allow_container_interaction". It may be a slightly poor name but it is consistent with some internal names where there exists a targeter called "container" which can point at various entities with an inventory with which a loader was interacting with. Loader to rail interaction is just an addition to the loader's logic of finding an entity to interact with and rest comes through a shared inventory-to-belt item transfers code.

I decided to not mention loaders being able to interact with rolling stocks in "Features" or "Minor features" sections because loaders are primarily modding entities and most of the players playing vanilla only would be confused about new stuff or would incorrectly assume loaders are inserters.

• Loaders now show their item filters in alt mode.

Looks like loaders getting some attention, what could that mean?

Sorry about this, I did the steps necessary to make the update package from 1.1.74 to 1.1.75 work for all macOS users now. Unfortunately I can't test this change right now so please let me know if it still doesn't work. There was a mismatch due to the new architecture string (x64/arm64) which took one extra release to fix without workarounds, future versions should upgrade just fine from the get go.
