functionality is already present - you can clearly see the moving arrows on the Belt even if it's completely backed up. and that means you can see the color.Bytenex wrote:it's also nice to see the blue (yellow/red) line between the items to make it clearer which belt is underneath.
ergo, already present. you worded it like it would be a new feature.
depending on what's being produced, many factories literally do exactly that.Bytenex wrote:the belts are not comparable to anything in real life because there is no real belt system that keeps running underneath the loaded items, even if they stack back. This would cause friction in real life and therefore ruin items on the belt.
the products sit on the belt, pushed against each other, as the belt continues to move under them. there isn't sufficient friction to cause the products to become damaged, but enough to make constant head pressure on the system so that everything always loads correctly.
in short - exactly that does happen in factories. just depends on if what's being made is durable enough to go that route.
