Landing pad unloading bays are special variants of cargo bays
that extend the storage capability of a cargo landing pad
. To provide this bonus, unloading bays must be placed directly adjacent to a part of the landing pad, or to another cargo or unloading bay that is itself attached to the landing pad. This connection does not need to cover all tiles on one side of the bay; it may only cover two or three tiles horizontally or vertically. There can be any number of bays attached to a landing pad. The unloading bay snaps to a 2x2 grid, like the landing pad and rails.
Unlike the cargo bay, the unloading bay can have inserters interact with it to unload items from all connected cargo bays and the original landing pad. As the unloading bay is 4x5 tiles in size, a single row of inserters can easily transfer items directly from an unloading to a waiting cargo wagon.
Additionally, unloading bay cannot be placed on space platforms, and must be placed within 59 tiles of landing pad.
