Two handed inserters

I would like to suggest to add express inserters with two hands which spin in a circle. While one hand could place an item the other hand could pick up the next item. :)

Great idea, but it will be so easy to play Factorio later. Why you dont like the normal inserters? But in some situations will be very useful angled manipulator

I suppose you could achieve the same result with an inserter that moves twice as fast?

I never said that I do not like them, I just want MORE stuff in this game. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger! :D

Sure. But the look how a single handed inserter would move even faster just would not look realistic for a machine of such kind. I think that the next logical step would be to add another arm. If not for speed increase then at least to fill both sides of a transport belt.

I like this idea, I see this being used as a next level for automation. You could have it connected to the end of a lane and the arms could both go separate directions and place whatever entity they are handling into, let's say, Two furnaces are parallel to each other and the arms go separate directions and they place whatever is on the conveyor belt into two entirely separate entities. I feel that this would improve automation and provide new possibilities and more efficient factories. The dual armed inserters could also have a kind of hierarchy such as the normal inserters. (Such as Burner, Inserter, Fast Inserter)
