[abregado] [0.17] Inserters remove fuel from miner instead of ore – miner then refuses to work

The inserters take coal out, but refuse to take the copper ore. I can't manually pick up the ore either. (Control-Click and opening the inventory to take it both don't work)

EDIT: never mind, i'm dumb. They're not supposed to take the ore out because it is automatically spit out... But it
might be confusing ;D

Thanks for the report.
This is not a bug, miners push items out onto tile infront of them so they don't have inventory for you or interter to take the or from.
But ... I'll leave it to abregado, to handle the report.

i have never actually tried to take anything from miners with an inserter like that. only put fuel into the miner with an inserter. all miners drop their ores on the ground/belt/chest/another miner in front of them. perhaps the inserter will refuse to work instead of taking the fuel, repercussions of that could break other strategies though. imo this is not a bug.

Taking coal out with inserters makes it possible to daisy chain them with burners. Handy in the very early game as you won't need to run a belt for coal next to them.
One persons bug is anothers' feature.
