g Miniloaders don’t transfer between wagons and chests

5 years ago

I've been trying to make a miniloader unload/load station but for some reason, the miniloaders cannot seem to load from a chest onto a wagon. I have no clue why this issue persists. It works fine from belt onto wagon but you require 2 loaders to load/unload from a chest onto a wagon.

2 miniloaders are required. This is intended. A loader transfer items from a chest to a belt, or from a belt to a chest. A loader never transfer from chest to another chest.

Alright, I guess it makes sense. Is it a limitation of factorio or is it entirely intended/balancing mechanic? Just curious

Intended balancing mechanic. There are already efficient tools in Factorio for moving items from chest to wagon: they’re called inserters. :)
