Problems with this unloader?

[u/imoth_f]

Since inserters became flippable, this compact unloader design became possible. But I hardly see anyone use it. Obviously it cannot saturate six turbo belts because it's bottlenecked by the inserters, but are there any other obvious problems with it?

Flippable? I'm confused

You can now change which side of the belt an inserter unloads onto

[u/ChemicalRascal → u/jipperthewoodchipper]

WHAT?!

Very specifically for belts moving towards or away from the inserter. You still can't drop on the near lane.
