g 2.1 Inline Insertion Change

Hey Rimbas,

Any chance you can change it so that the default "Super Compact" layout swaps the inline insertion lane now that that's an option? Thanks

Yes, this feature is urgently missing. The "compact" and "super compact" layouts of mining machines have always had this problem. Mining machines placed perpendicular to the conveyor belt can only place minerals on the same side of the conveyor belt, causing one side of the conveyor belt to be full of minerals while the other side is full. Now, version 2.1 of the game has added that mining machines placed perpendicular to the conveyor belt can choose to output to the left or right side, and can choose to have mining machines alternately output to the left and right sides to balance the load of the conveyor belt. Can this new optimization be added to the module's planning?
