What didn't you like about the existing mods?
and what makes yours better?

I didn't like how other mods allowed 45°-like angles, extending arms or other abstract inserter movement.
I also wanted to play around with scripting and thought it'd be the best way to do it.

if you want to have a look at my Kux-SlimInserters, you can also support them.
they also follow the strategy that they only work straight ahead and not around the corner

How would you like that support to work exactly?

well if you calculate the right positions, that's enough for a start
the slim inserter are using 1x0 tiles and not 1x1 so you have an ofset by 0.5 compared to normal ones

norm [x]/i\[x]
slim . [x]i[x]

I looked into your mod and I don't really see how those 2 mods should interact. Would you like to take this to Discord so I could try to understand your idea better?

what I mean is that your mod can configure any inserter and it doesn't matter in which mod it was defined.
in case of slim inserter. you only have to pay attention to tile_height and tile_width so that the correct offset is used. basically more is not necessary to interact

Oh so you just want the slim inserters to not be able to be configured?

??? I haven't said a word about it. What makes you think that now?
I wrote that the offset must be calculated correctly due to the fact that it is 1x0

I have rewritten bunch of my code to include respecting inserter's default vectors.
That said your inserters seem to automatically reset after being configured. So I still don't understand what you want me to do.

if yours is already done, which i didn't know, then i have to deactivate the reset as soon as your mod is installed. the reset is a workaround for other configurators that want to calculate the offsets incorrectly. as was the case with bobs inserters at the beginning.

with your current published version, the offset is wrong

in Kux-SlimInserters 3.0.23 I added your delta-inserters to the supported configurator list. and do not change the offsets back.
but you can already see the wrong position in the old version before you close the dialog

I released the 2.0 version. It should be working with slim inserters now.
However it seems that your inserters are still trying to go back to their default settings, even on latest version.

yes, i see, a mistake, but we are getting closer ;-) fixed

Long is still wrong (but you can only see it if you also select close)

would you like to add a switch for the lane?

Offset for slim inserters should be fixed in 2.0.2. I made Long Slim Inserters always hidden because i couldn't get them to work without ruining other inserters' calculations.

A switch for left/right belt lane is not in my plans.

I made Long Slim Inserters always hidden because i couldn't get them to work without ruining other inserters' calculations.

this would make the configurarion unusable
