Compact 1x1 loaders that use electricity. They are able to use separate filters on each belt lane, and can stack items on belts if stack inserters are available.
I have been using turbo loaders on my planets and I decided to add 5Dims transport that adds bunch of transport tiers. This mod seems to support it and adds new loader variants. The issue is that when i researched the 4th transport tier (60 items/s) along side its loader, all turbo loaders on in my save were deleted.
I noticed it too late and now its been 2 hours since I started replacing all these missing loaders with the mk4 variants from 5Dim. The most painful are the ones that used circuits and filters, since I don't remember what they had
Oh man, that totally sucks and not at all a good experience. Sorry that happened.
There is a setting that keeps the turbo loaders in addition to the MK4 loaders. The game engine should have notified you of entities being removed at map load time.
But yes, I'll see if I can figure out something to make the experience less bad for the next person.
