Change how inserters take things on belts and go for infinite science
My proposal is quite simple : when an inserter take something from a belt, it pick on both side, not right then left. Or if possible, we make a choice (right, left, toggle).And if necessary, add another tier or change science limit for inserters size (infinite?). (Math later)
What ?
I've tried to fetch item on a full Tier 3 belt, and the biggest problem was : the arm is only taking on the right side of the belt (was coming north), and the other side was untouched. So mainly, this means, that the arms is not using a 40 item/s lane, but a 20/s because it's only taking on one side.Also adding infinite research may be viable to add, because if you are able to put like 64k SciencePack for adding 1 element, it means that you manipulating huge numbers. And also because belts have a 12.5% boost on 0.17
So :
13 items : 2K
14 items : 4K (6K total)
15 items : 8K (14K total)
etc.
Seems fair to me.
Why ?
Only one lane moves (so half of the belt is moving). It's just not normal, just because inserters only check one side then another.Edit : shortened version !!
