Recon satellites was an obvious one, as well as orbital weaponry that could be used to remotely target an area (b...

This is interesting, but the lack of consideration for varied input scenarios ends up bottle-necking production at the input inserter, which makes it not very useful as an actual tool. A couple of minor tweaks can greatly improve its utility: Allow for up to 9 Inserters for input, if the bottleneck ...
