Its a plate coated with lubricant and when an inserter places an item on it, it slides like ice

it's like if you throw something on ice it'll slide to its destination
except with an iron plate and lube

OOPS set to general and not ideas and suggestions sorry about that

Haha so like a transport belt with infinite "bandwidth" but can't turn? That could be pretty cool, but it'd have to have a way to collect them again. Maybe a chest with an open side

lmao i totally forgot about this, i don't actively check factorio.com
maybe? but like the items would slow down a little bit over time

yea it could be an open chest (iirc renai already has one for inserters)
btw love renai transport its a really fun and cool mod
