I noticed some unexpected behavior with the new smart belt feature while playing normally. So I gave it a stress test to see what is the issue.

This is a compilation of the found inconsistencies.
See: https://youtu.be/mGZOhCx19Sk
Edit: more occurrences from real gameplay:

Note: While this may be an unrealistic stresstest, i did encounter some of these issues in normal play. So they also occur there. I just stressed it for the purpose of reproduction for a report. The video is on 10% speed.

I just found another new one:

From what I could see, basically all of them was caused by you getting out of reach of the bend part.
Since it was also happening to me, and is quite annoying, I changed it, so the build distance reach is increased (doubled) for finishing the build bend section.

Hope that will fix it. I would be really surprised by that behavior though, since the whole first video is done with "ghost" placements. To be out of range here seems like an odd reason when placing ghost entities.


Also the last clip is not out of range at any time, I can even see the "green" preview here:

But there were bunch of other things not working properly.
