[kovarex] [0.16.27] Inserter skips item pickup

[Bilka]

The stack inserter skips pickup of some items after the first from the transport belt, which seems to lower its throughput compared to 0.15.

I would say that it isn't a bug. It is a direct implication of the way inserter physically moves for the first item.

It makes no sense whatsoever from a gameplay perspective. The first item is in range, and grabbing it is possible, so the other items should also be in range.

Making the inserter not chase the item would fix this problem like you said, and also quite a few problems that also occur in other cases, such as slow inserters picking up from fast belts.
