Undergrounds taking items away before inserter can pick them up

Post by Illiander42 »

If an inserter places a single item on the entrance of an underground belt, no inserter removing from that belt will pick it up (unless the belt is backlogged) And if you place more than one, the first item will never get picked up. Not even legendary fast inserters will work on yellow belt (or legendary super-inserters from creative mode, which are even faster). The first item is not on the belt to be able to be picked up.

It feels like it should be able to be.

Thanks for the report however this is not a bug.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

It broke my compact overlapping steel smelting build, so I was hopeful :x
