hi, what exactly happens when i put in different shapes into the train packager? i kinda expected it to make an package that isn't full and send it on it's way, but instead it seems to throw away the items, and possibly more of the new ones?

each shape sent that isn't the same as the shape already in the package being created removes 10 of the shapes in there

i wonder how or why that works canonically

Every shape is stored in a compressed digital format inside the train packages. That's why each train can hold so many. Unfortunately this compressed format can only store one type of shape at a time, and attempts to insert a different shape will cause a batch of shapes to derez.

It's just to prevent you from having to micromanage loaders/unloaders/trains if you switch types.
I don't think there is a "canonical" justification. It's just a game mechanic for quality of life.
