Is it ? that's a rethorical question, i give the answer yes, because i couldn't find it, so i name the topic the same as my question was, this way if someone type in the same question, he will see the post haha.
If you have 2 straight belts, both reading-pulse, how much ticks there is between 2 pulse when an item pass.
yes thank you for your numbers, it explain why i found some weird 53 and 295 and will help for splitters. The computation gives the same answer as my measure that's good.
If only. Visual belt speed (CAV), item speed (CLV) and player speed (neither; always much faster than the belt and approaching an inner item’s AV on the very inside) are all distinct in corners.
Ahhh that's annoyingly interesting
Mechanically that still makes no sense at all. The belt is made of sliding plates that are fastened in the middle and the middle is pulled along by some force. In a curve the inner part compresses and the outer parts stretches. The inner corner moves slower than the middle and the outer corner moves faster than the middle. And at the end of the curve everything lines back up perfectly again. After all it's a single plate that goes around the corner fixed in the middle. Anything else would mean the plate breaks apart.boskid wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:36 am I am not sure what is the question here, but i can give you some numbers.
- All transport lines use fixed point positions with a resolution of 1/256.
- Inner corner has length of 106/256, Outer corner has length of 295/256. Straight belt has length of 1. Splitter input line has length of 179/256 and splitter output line has length of 0.5. Splitters are tricky as part of the input length is a buffer (51/256).
- Distance between items is set to 64/256.
- Yellow belt has a speed of 8/256 per tick, Red belt has speed of 16/256 per tick, blue belt has speed of 24/256 per tick.
If you know the length to travel and belt speed you can compute the amount of ticks.
Also when there is no place for the items to go, the whole line stops while in fact all those items should get squashed more and more and finally be thrown out of a belt and onto a ground. How could we be so blind here? This will create so many new challenges for a players since they will have to have extra overflow belts on both sides to catch those items that falls from the pile of items in the middle and will move them to some storage area. Let me fix this quickly.mrvn wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 1:19 am Mechanically that still makes no sense at all.

Factorio belts really behave like 2 separate belts, not one belt fitting 2 items side by side. But the graphics is a single belt. So in curves items slide around on the belt. It's like the inner items roll forward and the outer items roll backwards maintaining their speed instead of getting dragged around by the belt.
No worries, that mod already exists:boskid wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:41 am Also when there is no place for the items to go, the whole line stops while in fact all those items should get squashed more and more and finally be thrown out of a belt and onto a ground.

Items that are crushed or thrown off should receive damage. Belts should use energy. When the player eats too many fish, they need to craft a belt or their armor will fall off.boskid wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:41 am Also when there is no place for the items to go, the whole line stops while in fact all those items should get squashed more and more and finally be thrown out of a belt and onto a ground.

but also the less speed that what my original interest !"Nach dem Essen sollst du Ruhn oder tausend schritte tun."mmmPI wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:21 pm the more fish i eat the less need for belt i have
the mechanism to mimic real life in a simulation are always arbitrary, but even in real life we have those numbers we use that seem a bit arbitrary, like 3.14 or the plank constant
but i have yet to hear the legend of the 1000 steps, anything to do with pollution ? i know fish tanks lot of it.
