Powered Conveyor Belts

Post by MatthewJMimnaugh »

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 :lol:

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.
