Description

This should be improved one way or another.

The machine that contains the control logic unit, ejects items in a way that is unnecessarily hard to understand at first.

It is a problem for the construction of pipeworks tube systems, which fail when the side from which the items are ejected is reversed.

Original issue got closed but contains some information, suggestions for improvement and some info about related issues:
