Filter Inserter )Stack and normal)

[Mr Mental]

Normal Purple filter inserter can filter off more then one thing,
white Stack inserter cannot, Is this meant to be or is it an issue nobody else has seen yet?

[Frightning]

It's intentional, because of the large stack size values that a Stack filter inserter can get to. The rationale was that the inserter would have problems with trying to pick up items of type 2 when it's already holding items of type 1. That said, Filter inserters can still get to a stack size of 3, so idk if it's really such a big deal or not.

As a blind guess, I could theorize that this limitation was implemented before inserter stack size research, and thus did make perfect sense at the time.

No idea if it's indeed true though.
