Powered Conveyor Belts

TL;DR

Conveyor belts no longer run on magic.

What ?

Conveyors moving under their own power is silly. Perhaps an engine at the beginning or end of a belt (coal fed initially, but electric when tech permits) would make sense? It would be small (1X1 or 1X2 at most).

Why ?

Realism

How ?

One tiny new building

Fledgling idea, so any thoughts or expansion on the idea would be appreciated

btw : Do you know there's a search button ? It's hidden in plain sight in the upper right corner of your browser. Feel free to test it, it works amazingly, especially advanced search

Will check it out in the future. If it is what you promise (backed up by links and quickly, so I tend to believe you), it will be the first forum search tool that actually works

Someone tried : viewtopic.php?f=190&t=53172
But I don't remember having seen a working POC for that.

I've tried it too, but now it's impossible to deactivate belts.
