Changelog

Version: 1.8.4
Date: 22.10.2019
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed bad ingredient for Krastorio's Superior filter miniloader. (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/miniloader/discussion/5d2e77e45d97e4000b7b6a97)

Version: 1.8.3
Date: 20.08.2019
  Changes:
    - Add chutes: very slow (1/4 yellow belt speed) grativy-fed miniloaders that work without power, for use in the early game.
    - Express belt miniloaders set to 60 items/s, since 45/s is too inconsistent with 2 inserters.

Version: 1.8.2
Date: 24.07.2019
  Bugfixes:
    - Adjust speeds of express belts, again.
  Compatibility:
    - Fix non-space miniloaders being buildable in Space Exploration's orbital surfaces.

Version: 1.8.1
Date: 23.07.2019
  Changes:
    - Adjust speeds of express belts.
  Compatibility:
    - Add support for Krastorio's Superior transport belt tier.
    - Improve support for mods that alter the speed of existing belts.

Version: 1.8.0
Date: 17.06.2019
  Changes:
    - Requires Factorio 0.17.50 for the improved inserter performance.
    - Caveats for belts faster than 60/s are removed. All miniloaders can now be filtered and circuit controlled, and all miniloaders should transfer to/from cargo wagons at full speed. There are still Factorio limitations with belts faster than 120/s whether used with or without miniloaders, and this mod cannot address those.
