Yeah it's a bit weird because it has been this way for so long.
But we'll probably get used to it within a week of playing.
I'm excited for all the new builds that are possible!
Just be aware that choosing works only in places where there is ambiguity due to belt being perpendicular. Those cases were the cause of problems for blueprint flip reliability.
Well it's still the far side when applicable, and the left / right side dropping has always been a coin toss (for my memory, anyway), so this is a welcome change.
Yeah I definitely have a few places where I'm in danger of breaking my factory if I press the wrong key while an inserter is highlighted. But overall the flexibility is good I think.

I'm really unsure how I feel about being able to choose what side of a belt an inserter drops on

I've been using mods that bestow this ability for a while. It's honestly phenomenal. It makes even more compact builds possible.

I love it. No more spaghetti to get a full belt out of trains. Still always the
closefar side of the belt which is good.lemming@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 67d
Isn't it far side of the belt?

RIP space casino but also fair, it did trivialize it a little too much

For those that like it, there will probably be a mod to enable it again day one. But it did make it a bit too easy I'll also admit

Boooooo, I bet someone is already making a mod to bring that back.

I'm looking forward to diagonal flamethrowers. It always was awkward trying to fit them around corners
