So after your last update I can't get a crane to unload a ship. From what I can tell the output doesn't switch to the opposite side when you change from load to unload, it instead immediately loads anything it pulls from the boat back to the boat. Another thing I noticed is that the input range is shorter than your pictures show for side loading. Your pictures show chest just beside the crane tower, but that doesn't seem to work. Also when using the bulk inserter recipe can you make it function like a bulk inserter instead of a stack inserter i.e. not needing to wait for a full hand to move items?

It's also quite slow for how much space it takes up

fix in 0.1.16

The unloading works now, thanks. Can you please make it function like a bulk inserter? They get stuck holding things often because they are waiting for a full hand. I know I can override the hand size to 1, but doing so makes it take for ever to unload a cargo ship. Also they use bulk inserters in their recipe so they should work like them. At the very least could be an option of which inserter type it funtions as?

I've already done it... it should behave like a bulk inserter

but he doesn't behave like a bulk...
