b Several minor issues

3 months ago

I've made some observations with slim inserters, which I wanted to share.

  1. Confusing naming scheme.
    Recipes and inventory items are labeled "loaders", whereas placed down entities are labeled "inserters".

  2. Stack loader lacks "Slim" prefix and wont show up in inventory search when typing that particular word.
    Stack loader uses Fast slim loader sprite within it's own GUI as well as others like Factoriopedia.

  3. They all have circuit network wire connector sprites attached, despite not being connected by wires.

  4. Slim inserters will "randomly" turn into their double variants. I haven't figured out why or when.
    I revisit an older part of my factory and notice, that several slim inserters in a belt row turned into double inserters. And double the electricity drain.

thanks for reporting
1+2 ok i'll take a look
3 this cannot be avoided. a “loader” is internally 2 inserters (because the two lanes suppoirt)) and since there is no event when a user connects a cable, I have to connect both already when creating.
4 if you place 2 slim inserter at the same position you get "a double inserter". this are still 2 separate inserters. Unfortunately, this is the only way to create a double inserter .
