[13.17] Sideloading produces non compressed belt

Post by XKnight »

Sometimes sideloading can not keep belt compressed despite the fact that it has enough resources.
In this build I am using combinator circuit to measure distance (in ticks) between items on the belt.
For compressed express belt this distance should be 3 ticks, but sometimes two items have 4 tick distance.


In my opinion this situation happens because sideloading cannot push two items (from different sub-lines) during the same tick.

Thanks for the report,

We never said that sideloading will always result in a compressed belt,
Only that it was better than it was in 0.12

There is no easy solution to this, and its not really a huge issue so im moving it to not a bug
