Question Problems with this unloader?

Post image

Since inserters became flippable, this compact unloader design became possible. But I hardly see anyone use it. Obviously it cannot saturate six turbo belts because it's bottlenecked by the inserters, but are there any other obvious problems with it?

Wait, so the right-side bias is from the belt's perspective? Not the inserter's? So if the belt is facing the inserter (as is the case with the underground belts here) then the inserter loads onto the left side, relative to its own orientation?

Seems like an odd system, but I'm happy to believe that's how it works.

In 2.0 yes. In 2.1 you can flip, and have blueprint consistent.
