Feature Request: corner miniloaders
Basically it would be nice if there was a miniloader variant that that could do a 90° turn for output similar to standard belts. This would only require one variant per belt speed as reversing directions combined with rotating the piece itself would cover all potential directional changes.
I believe this would require 4 variants per speed, one for clockwise 90 degree turn, and one for CCW, and then filter variants of each.
Would the ability to reverse directions and rotate not handle the CW/CCW issue?
right->down (CW) reversed would become up->left (CCW)
I did forget about filter variants though.
Cheers.
CW chest➡️belt reverses to CCW belt➡️chest. So we still need CCW chest➡️belt to get CW belt➡️chest.
Ah that makes sense. I still think this is a good idea for an addition however I understand it is quite a bit more work than I assumed in the initial request.
Cheers,
Really it’s the graphics that’s the sticking point because I’m not much of an artist. I might be able to do something that just uses the current art and the alt-mode inserter arrows to indicate where the miniloader will look for a chest.
