Hi,

I just noticed, that Belts, that are intended to move Players are somewhat weird and unpredictable.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbbRmNT5exw
Fail everytime until about 0:40

1. Build Belts like in this screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Pingger/sc ... 0421657595
2. Step on the TopRight belt and stop moving
3. *Get carried away*
4. In 90% of all cases you will stop before the turn to the east (as seen in the screenshot)
-> in the other 10% you will keep moving east.

Greetings Pingger

EDIT: replaced 'non-deterministic' with 'weird'

This looks like it has to do with variations in the engineer's hitbox due to manual placement, rather than any sort of non-determinism with the belts.

Thanks for the report however that's not what non-deterministic means. If it was non-deterministic the game would desync in multiplayer.

Simply put: you're not reproducing the exact same input when you walk onto the belt each time.
