Let's say I want to have a build that has a lot of buildings producing the same recipe and this recipe has 2 solid outputs.
I put one of the buildings down, set the two output filter miniloaders by hand, then copy paste the building to have the desired amount and then I belt everything.
What I see happen a lot of times is that often the filter miniloaders placed by bots output only on one side of the belt, so, for example, if I planed the build for 30 items/s the output would be only 15/s since it would all be on one side of the belt, and only the one I set by hand putting on both sides.
A few times the copy paste behaves as if placed by me, so I'm not sure what exactly triggers it.
On my latest build, I had 2 filter miniloaders one for item X and another for item Y, the ones for item X all were outputting only on one side, but the ones for item Y were working as "they should".
I had to manually remove and replace all filter miniloaders for item X (that were placed by bots before) to force it to output on both sides of the belt...
I think this behavior might be related to having a belt or underground connected to it before the copy.
Because the filter miniloaders for item X didn't have any connection when I copied, but the ones for item Y were all connected to an underground belt.
