Balacing problems in [1.1.101]

Post by Betalord »

Is it just me, or did 1.1.101 update introduce different belt mechanics? Here is a screenshot to demonstrate what I mean:

In this screenshot some copper remains stuck in the 4-4 lane balancer after copper ran out. I don't remember this happening with 1.1.100.
Can someone conferm this?

This has never worked any different.

Underground’s have always (that I can recall) done that. When sideloading, the hood blocks one of the sides of the oncoming belt, only allowing the contents of the other side to pass.

That behavior can be useful, for balancing the lanes on the belt.

As the others said, it's always done that. I dislike having product left on a belt, and as such have always disliked using that method of balancing.
