[2.0.55] Inserter won't remove spoilage from biochamber unless output empty

[konage]

The outserter for spoilage will only remove spoiled nutrients, but not spoiled yumako mash from this biochamber, unless the carbon fiber in the output is completely emptied. I currently have the outserter for carbon fiber to enable only if there is 16+ carbon fiber in the biochamber. I assume it would be the same for other similar recipes?

Because the spoilage is in the input slot because it can only be moved to the trash slot once the output is free.

Wouldn't it be better if the code changed so that input slot spoilage could be moved to the trash slot anyway even if the output is not free?

With the output full, the assembler won't do anything anyway. Removing the spoilage from the input slot will result in more Yumako being loaded, but nothing done with it, and it will just spoil, so I don't see any benefit of changing the current behaviour.

then why not block the nutrient slot too?...

In any case, I already mentioned one reason, having the inserter do less work by picking up 16 at a time. (and yes I know there are other ways to "solve" this)
