I like this mod for handling gleba stuff by spreading spoilage across multiple items, I'd love if you could update this

very well, i'll port this but it'll be marked as deprecated since it is end-of-life, a new mod using the new cargo bay extractors will surface in the future.

the new cargo bay extractors only allow for removing items (no insertion like this mod enables). updating this mod to 2.1 should only require a json update in info.json to the new mod version. crash/stability testing not yet performed, but mod will load.

This is the mod they were referring to
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cargo-bays-and-unloaders

again, i'll reiterate, the cargo bay extractors mod (or the vanilla dlc item it's based on) doesn't allow insertion. only item removal.

That's the point. It's supposed to emulate vanilla.

Maybe un-deprecate the mod then? The one linked is clearly much more limits in its functionality (only extraction only on planets), while this mod covers much wider range of usages

Quezler already noted why its deprecated

Not sure what do you mean. The mod you linked https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cargo-bays-and-unloaders as a solution doesn't cover most of functionality of this mod - can't insert into them or use on space platforms at all, which both are common uses for this mod.

If the meaning is that a mod is planned to be made in a future that would repurpose the unloaders to also allow loading and space platform usage, why don't keep this mod open and searchable and only deprecate it once a new mod is out? In the current state people still want the mod, but looking it up on mod portal will only return AI generated slop mod that basically copies functionality of this one

Quezler does not want to continue support for this mod. Regardless of the why.

a new mod using the new cargo bay extractors will surface in the future.

Oh look, a new mod using the new cargo bay extractors surfaced.

This is reasonable

Oh look, a new mod using the new cargo bay extractors surfaced.

And this is like pointing at a completely unrelated mod. It got nothing to do with this mod's functionality - cargo-bay-inserters is space age mod that adds loading and unloading into cargo bay. Part of its functionality (only unloading only on planets) got added to base space age. The mod you are linked just adds the unloaders to non-space age game. It's a nice mod, but really got nothing to do with this one and not a replacement of any of its functionality
