[MOD 0.10.5+] Moar Inserters! v1.2

Well, hello there!

This mod adds a whole bunch of inserters...
Basically i took the modular approach, that means u can intercombine any of the following:
5 Types of inserters: basic, fast, smart, alien and golden
4 Ranges (or lengths of arms): short (near side of belt), normal (far side of belt), medium (near side of belt 2 tiles away) and long (far side of belt 2 tiles away)

The "alien" type inserters are just smart inserters but more expensive in creation and power while transferring quite a bit faster.
The "golden" inserters are similar to alien inserters in terms of speed and power costs, only the recipe is quite a bit more expensive.

Another feature is that you can rotate the output direction of an inserter via a Wrench implemented by the mod.
Alien-Type inserters can rotate it's output in 7 different directions, while all the others can just use 3 (left, straight, right)
Only Golden Inserters are capable of configuring input and output to any tile in a 5x5 tile wide box centered on the inserter.

This is a pretty cool mod. It appears really organized so I like that.

What about research and costs? Are they balanced?

Filter and programmable part of smart and alien inserter disappear when output is rotated via wrench (currently no API access to filter and programmable parts :/)
Just want to let you know that since 0.10.0 you have read/write access to these properties.

Hi, I'm getting a segfault (crash) any time I try to access the electricity statistics by left-clicking on a pole iff a Moar Inserters inserter is attached to the network.

I am running the latest version of the mod, no other mods, Factorio 0.10.6 64 bit on Linux. Attached is a save file (god mode scenario, but the same issue occurs in normal games) that allows to easily see the issue. Before placing the inserter (slot 1), no crash occurs when clicking the pole. After placing the inserter next to the pole, clicking on the pole will result in a crash.

Can u do:
1) long inserter which pick object on 2 blocks and put on 1 block behid itself
2) long inserter which pick object on 1 block and put on 2 blocks behind itself
And do these 2 types of inserters rotatable by 90 degrees

Similar type of inserter had dytech inserters mod

Well i certainly can, but im not sure if i will...

The thing with this is, that at the current state it is allready somewhat possible:
Image
And i dont want to overload the user with non-uniformed formats.
E.g. another user could request an inserter that pulls from the near side of the belt and puts to the far side, or even pulls from 3 tiles and puts 2 tiles and all that kind of stuffs...

And to be honest, i dont quite understand Dysoch's design decision with that particular inserter and i was rather angry that there wasnt a half output "normal" long handed inserter...

I got some plans for a "golden" inserter tho, fully customizable but very expensive...

Heh, maybe i need to learn lua myself :D , but even then i'll need to teach how to do animation, and i'll need to find time to engage in self-learning
I think creating of animation is much more harder for me then writing code

Did it c:

I added the "Golden Inserter", that can be configured in any shape or form you can imagine ^^
Also various bugfixes, including the debugMode isnt enabled by default (so sorry for that...)

Hope you like it!
And as always feedback is much appreciated!!!
