[0.16.7] Inserter can't take used up cells from burnt_result_inventory

Mod reference: (Version 0.0.1)
https://mods.factorio.com/api/downloads ... _0.0.1.zip
This mod adds new entity (type = "furnace", name = "nuclear-furnace-1"), that has nuclear burner as energy source:
Code: Select all
energy_source = {
type = "burner",
fuel_category = "nuclear",
effectivity = 0.25,
emissions = 0.02,
fuel_inventory_size = 1,
burnt_inventory_size = 1
}
So, the vanilla GUI looks so:

But inserter can't take "used-up-uranium-fuel-cell" from this inventory, only from result inventory.

Thanks for the report. This is a limitation of how inserters work at the moment. They can only ever extract items from 1 inventory which means you simply can't use the burnt-result system with any entity that produces items otherwise.

How it can be reworked?
Now inserters can to insert items to more-then-one inventories, but they cat to extract items from only one.
It means, we have two possibilities: make new inserter "burnt-result-extractor", that works with burnt_result_inventory or modify old insertors code.
UPD:
So, here is an extractor for extracting items from
burnt result inventory Burnt Extractor

question from a non-modder :
there are several machines which produce more than one type of output.
does this mean that all those types are in separate output slots (which all can be accessed by inserters), but all those slots are in a single output inventory ?
can't the burnt-output-slot be merged to all the other output slots so that inserters can grab the burnt-output as well?
(of course, that would require sorting by filter inserters or other methods, just like we already have to separate multiple products that are made by one machine)
or are the production and the fuel components of a machine too deeply separated from each other so that they absolutely require two separate output inventories (each with one or several slots) ?

Yes, that's how it works now.

Is the limitation still here? The fuel leech works:
