Friends in factory-building, a day has come which I thought I would never see. Wube Software has announced that, in the upcoming Factorio 2.0 release, objects on conveyor belts will be allowed to stack upon each other, and a new bulk inserter type will pick up and drop entire piles of objects at once. It's a change that the developers of Factorio have said was impractical to add for years now.
Filter inserters will also be removed from the game. All of the various swinging arms will have the capability to only pick up what you want them to. The changes will come as part of the Space Age expansion and accompanying, free, Factorio 2.0 update.
