Sorter improvement
When the drain function is activated, i would like to see implemented a check if to see if the source of where the items are picked up is the same as the destination. It would avoid constant loop picking up from a cargo container to deposit in the exact same one, would lead to better sorter performance but also better quality of life as the only way i found to make drain work as intended and not run constantly is an event controller detecting if the sorter block is on and turning the other one off, or alternatively not to disrupt the flow entirely, have a timer block turning input and output sorters on and off.
Some improvements could be done on the draining function as well, like having the whitelist/blacklist as usual but adding a list for what to be drained. For example i have a refill station for my fighter with reactors, if i want the reactors to top off and in same time fill with ammo, i need 2 sorters, one to only allow Uranium but not drain, and one to drain the ammo.
I would also like to see a "L" shaped sorter.
