Long handed smart inserters

Post by Adware »

Hello,

I've been playing this game for a long time, and I'd like to leave my suggestion here for the game.
We have long handed inserters, right? We have smart inserters too. But I have this problem that would be solved with making a long handed smart inserter: https://gyazo.com/0bbd5df6ba4bbe447fd43ad2aabb422b
Like you see, I can't make it to only grab iron. In this case, it does, but when there's only copper it will grab that, which I don't want. Maybe the Factorio team can try making this? It would be wonderful :D

Thanks for reading my suggestion and I hope it'll be considered!

Sincerely,
Adware

It will be considered in the same way as the others. :mrgreen:

(that links to an article about belts, but it is in general the same with inserters. The inserter you want can be easily modded. :)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Now any inserter can be long.

There's also gotlag's configurable inserters mod, and a couple others on the market too.
