drop_position :: Position [Read-Write]
Position where the entity puts its stuff.

Note: Meaningful only for entities that put stuff somewhere, such as mining drills or inserters.


writing to drop_position does not work on mining drills as the docs say (it would be awesome if it did though!)

You posted "drop_target" and said "drop_position" - drop target does work with mining drills drop position read works for mining drills and inserters, drop position write only works for inserters because you can't change a mining drills drop position runtime.

I'll update the docs to say so.

Ooops wrong copy/paste Edited above to reflect drop position.

Thanks for the doc fix!
