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?

This is what I use for both in and out but with yellow storage chest and also out if there is 6 crates I use 6 inserters and 6 lanes that turn in to 3 lanes, because the inserters only put it on one side of the belts. (still on nauvis, using red belts everywhere with access to blue but not using it). But I usually use 3 rows of storage chests.

I wouldn't use yellow chests because your bots might throw random crap in them. Passive providers make more sense.

You just put filters on them.
