I spent probably a couple hours trying to figure out why my train wouldn’t dispatch for iron ore despite the system working perfectly fine for my oil outpost, until I realized the auto whitelist trains function wasn’t working with the loaders. Slapping some inserters down without changing anything else made everything work flawlessly.

I hadn’t expected this since I saw this was compatible with miniloaders.

Miniloaders uses an outdated UPS-inefficient design (two invisible uber-speed inserters per loader) because miniloaders was created before vanilla had its own loaders added. Deadlock’s loaders are simply 1x1 reskinned versions of vanilla’s loaders, so they are significantly superior in performance.

Compatibility with vanilla loaders would probably be wise too, since that might enable compatibility with mods that simply make them available (and add a real texture to them).
