Krastorio 2 Loaders?

[Tarnos]

Hey, can I use those to load trains/wagons?
So far I am unable to do so.
What is the purpose of those other than loading chests?

You can use them to directly feed or take from a crafting machine instead of inserters.
It might not sound very helpful initially but once you get your machines to high speeds or to the higher tech ones that can process items quickly they will replace inserters for the purpose of feeding the machine.

Also; doesn't k2 have the option to turn them on for trainloading in the mod-options? I know most loader(mods) do....
