[0.15.18] Nice to have : reset/unload inserter

Post by ludolpif »

Hi,

Ctrl+Click allows players to quickly empty a chest or collect products from factories.

Inserters have, in some situations, a dead-lock state. For example, if they are handling a not-in-recipe item, hoping giving it to a factory. It happens easily when making changes on factories near inserters.
In this situation, the only way I found yet about resuming inserter activity is to remove it and build a new one again.

Please find a short gif attached. At the end of video, Ctrl+Clicking to empty the inserter is desirable.

Ludovic

There's no bug here.

I may put this in wrong topic, but I think that a handy way to reset stuck inserters is a thing that the game should have because Inserter will never be smart enough to put back the wrong thing back on the original place to unblock itself (and this could fails also).
