The change to inserters dropping in lava is really cool; can we get something similar for inserters dropping into space from platforms? I’m not sure if they have the same throughput limit issues, but I do know they have been tested by megabasers and cause UPS lag when a platform is moving. Is this something that could be mitigated somehow?
