Overloading belts

Post by NyaaaJuanita »

Last night was playing and I started dropping manually items in a belt as I wanted to recycle them but I only had one recycler on the build. I dropped some Tier 3 Quality modules and as I was doing it I started noticing something weird, it seemed like the item was "Gliching" or something because it looked really weird. Thats when I put my mouse on the belt and reliced I stacked an excesive amount of items In the same belt. I started laughting a lot and didi again the thing.

So If you have a belt and start dropping items on it manually (using "Z") when it cloge up you can keep dropping items if you start moving your mouse really slowly to the empty part of the belt, overloading the belt with items even if "it shouldt carry more"

I Had a real Laugh with it it was so unexpected. I guess its a bug so I will leave this post here if it needs to be fixed. I'll try to check the post for any replies
