[0.17.21] Gap appearing after connecting new belt

Post by gamestefan »

I noticed a GAP appearing after I connected a new fully compressed belt to my green circuit bus. It seems that my machines are mainly pulling from the right side of the belt. Please find a screenshot below. I can provide a copy of my savegame, but I prefer to do that privately.

On the second screenshot I enabled the debug info to show gaps in the transport lines.

Looking at my map again I noticed that the gap appears just after a change-over from fast to normal (red to yellow) belt, the gap is on the first piece of yellow belt. by replacing the red belt before to yellow it dissappears.

A blueprint string of a construct that exhibits this behavior would be helpful.

Thanks for the report however without a full save file showing the problem I'm inclined to think you just don't understand how belts work internally (which is understandable - they're complex and most don't know how they work internally).

Basically: that's normal and is not likely to ever be changed.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
