[REQUEST] Direct belt-to-container

Post by kfsone »

I'd like a late-game (e.g maybe req white science) item that combines splitter, filter and loader/inserter all into one space, so that items on either side of the belt automatically go into any valid container that is on the same side of the belt. In RL (e.g mail sorting) they implement this with a drop chute.

See attached concept image, any items on the top side of the belt would be inserted to the machine (or chest) if it has capacity, otherwise they'd flow along as normal.

Try Belt Sorter
Doesn't have an inserter/loader component.
