Belt side loading bug mistakenly labeled as duplicate/not a bug

This bug is actually a bug and also not a duplicate. I think it was mislabeled a bug because it was mistaken for the case when there are compacted belt loops and/or different speed belts and it's effectively a race to see which will go first.

However that is not the case in the linked bug, that was dealing with belts that traveled at the same speeds. When belts of the same type side load the "main" belt ALWAYS has priority and this is always how the game has worked.

There is a similar reddit post with a vigorous discussion on this and most people believe the issue to be a bug. https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... _wait_10s/

It is not mistakenly labeled.
