Bidirectional belt

Post by Turtle »

Is it possible to mod belts to be bidirectional? Meaning one side of the belt goes one way and the other goes the other way.

No it's not currently possible to mod belt directions.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

There was this amazing russian guy that made a belts mod with tons of features. I am not sure if he figured this out though. He was banned or something b/c he refused to post in english.
Check out my mods

Well, those were mostly working with findentities() and teleport() functions during ontick event.
Hardly, suitable for an entity that'd be the main transport system of factory.
I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.

Could you place a normal belt, place an invisible belt on top of it that moves in the other direction, and then use only one lane of each?
