I have no idea how it would ever work but big yeety hand makes brain go brrr

maybe having them throw in the same shotgun pattern as impact unloaders

just sling gears randomly at a group of assemblers with hatches and hope they go in

could just do it with the new bulk inserters though

lol a scatter shot mode thrower 🤣? That could be fun. Usually inserters can't hold a lot of items at once though so the throw pattern wouldn't look too fancy compared to the impact unloader, but maybe it could have a ridiculous stack size and the scatter is the drawback

The fact that it keeps throwing instead of one big yeet will make it look plenty interesting as it slowly fills the area on the ground in a random manner instead of just a spill spreading from the center of where things land

And the stack size of the (now stack) bulk inserter is nuts anyways, so matching that pre-emptively makes thematic sense
