[2.0.23] rotating belt in between two splitters isnt doing what i want

[issicus]

I circled the belt I'm rotating in the attached picture. I want the belt to go from top to right . but it's only going left. not sure if that makes sense. it seems like it should connect to both the right and left splitters from above but it only attaches to the left one.

Rotating moves the output direction of a belt. From the situation in the screenshot, rotating twice in either direction should make the belt output to the right. It won't be a top to right curve however, belts prefer going straight and since there's a belt coming in from the left, that one will be connected to. You need an extra tile between the splitters for a top to right curve.

Not a bug / Gameplay help

Not a bug. Belts get their shape based on incoming connections and if there are 2 incoming connections then they become straight belt piece. This space is too tight to have a belt turning when going to right.
