Hello!
I might express an unpopular opinion, but in my view, changing the size of cranes from 2x6 to 1x6 makes them too cheaty. The old version compensated for the loading speed by requiring much more space for installation.
Moreover, in the new version, the crane looks like a regular manipulator. The fact that such a small manipulator can grab an entire stack of items at once looks strange and unnatural. When the crane looked huge, it seemed like something that could grab 200 units of ore at once.
