But main thing is it will fill both sides of belt like loader do? It will not be so fast as loader so question about overpowering going away, whole idea will stay same, and tech tree do not need rework in this case.
Yo do realize this topic is very old, don't you ? I'd advise you to make a suggestion in the Ideas and Suggestions Subforum (even if I doubt there will be another kind of inserters in the future).
Realised that was old just after posted the message, fair enough. Will do make my suggestion in subforum. thx :)

Obviously there are loaders in mods because they are not in the base game, but I looked through this entire thread and didn't see a resolution one way or the other. Is this idea officially dead to Kovarex et al?

There were other threads discussing the issue most people thought they were OP (by being able to fill a blue belt for free)

end result is that they fixed inserters to be able to pick up and put down stacks from belts which was enough to remove the need for the loader.
