Spoiled items should be inserted directly into trash slots

Post by danbopes »

One of the things that I find annoying about spoiling items is always worrying about ends of belts and the places where spoiled items go. I think it would be easier if assembly machines allowed spoiled items to be inserted directly into the trash slots. Would simplify logic down a lot, as your inserters out should already handle trash, and this would prevent all the weird edge case interactions like "What if items spoil mid inserter swing", or spoiling while the assembly machines is full.

Anything can be marked as a spoilage product. For example, iron ore and copper ore are spoilage products of bacteria. This would completely kill space sushi.

In both of these cases the spoilage will end up in the trash slot. This is already the behavior in the current version of the game.
