g Short Train Compatibility

Hi,

I have a mod that makes very short trains, a 2 tile each loco, cargo wagon, loco combo. So the middle 2 tiles of a fake 6 tile train is the cargo wagon. This doesn't work with the bulk load/unload when centred on it as it seems you only unload from the end of the bulk loaders/unloaders entity. Is this something that is addressable in terms of moving the inserters positions in your mod or hard limited?

In theory this is something that could be fixed by scripting now. When I first made BRL inserter position entirely determined what entities they would interact with, but now there are additional facilities to adjust it. Let me have a look.

Cheers, if you think of anything I can do my end let me know.
The parts of my mini train are all standard entities once placed and can be seen fully with the train debug layers.
