Talk:Long-handed inserter

Kostermw: /* Functionality incorrect? */ new section

I made a change to the "range" of the long handed inserter and it's most common use case because I felt that the way the original writer counted the tiles was unintuitive. Originally it was written the [[long handed inserter]]s are commonly used to drop off items on belts '''two''' tiles from an assembler. I think it is when the belts are '''three''' tiles from an assembler. I realize this is the difference between counting the tiles in the space ''between'' them and counting the tiles ''inclusive'' of where the belt is.
My way of counting would put a belt "one tile away" as directly adjacent, where the other way would be "zero tiles away". I see both sides and was wondering how other people felt, because ultimately the idea is for this to be as understandable to as many people as possible. Maybe adding a screenshot would help?

== Functionality incorrect? ==

Currently it reads: Long handed ''inserters cannot grab moving items from blue belts.''. I believe it is incorrect, these CAN grab from blue belts.
