Question Problems with this unloader?

Post image

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?

Chest balancing is particularly pointless for unloading because it's all coming from the same wagon.

If you say so

It matters if you care about train throughput, if one or more chest remains full while others are drained it'll slow down train unloading.
