Talk:Conveyor Belt

Merging Mk.1-6
Could we merge all the belt pages into one, similar to the Korean version of the page: Conveyor_Belt/ko. So it'd have most of the info up top, then the 6 infoboxes in the middle (which could hopefully be made more condensed at a later date), and then other tips and trivia at the bottom. ✏ A marshall (talk) 10:38, 7 April 2019 (UTC) ✏ A marshall (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2019 (UTC) ✏ A marshall (talk) 23:13, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Yea, I like that. As it is right now, the higher you go into the tiers, the less information the pages contain... The info that is on there, is mostly just copy-pasted. We'll just have to see about how we mark a belt as "unreleased".
 * I've added a proposal. --CerbrusNL (talk) 09:12, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * That looks nice. It might be useful to add which resource each belt uses in the speed table for quicker reference. Or maybe an infobox on the side like this: Template:Infobox belts.
 * The template isn't necessary, I've (moved and) updated my proposal --CerbrusNL (talk) 17:56, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Right I figured I had done something wrong with the infobox, so that template can be deleted. Anyway, maybe ask on the discord if anyone has objections to the merge, best way to gauge it I suppose. The only odd thing I've noticed is the resource breakdown opens for all the infoboxes at once, and can get messed up because of it.
 * Merge looks good. I made a minor change at Conveyor Belt/sandbox of replacing the float:lefts with a group div and adding some specific css for infobox groups to align them better. --Mr Pie 5 (talk) 00:13, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Conveyor Transportation Speed
I set up a Mk 5 conveyor belt exactly 1km (125 foundations) long. Standing on the belt, I traveled the distance in 64.0 seconds which is a speed of 56.25 km/h. Running that distance with Blade Runners took 74.3 seconds for a speed of 48.5 km/h. Running on the Mk 5 belt with blade runners on took 34.5 seconds for a speed of 104.3 km/h. I did take multiple timings. As a sanity check, 56.25 + 48.5 = 104.75 km/h which is very close to the measured speed of 104.3 km/h.Jongensregeren (talk) 14:56, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

I tested Mk 4 and Mk 3 belts also. The speeds achieved by standing on the belt is as posted on the page. Running with Blade Runners increases the speed by 48 km/h in both cases.Jongensregeren (talk) 20:55, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * As the information doesn't match what's in the article, a 3rd person will have to do the measurement to provide verifiable information. --Ondar111 (talk) 13:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

For what it's worth, 843 items fit on a conveyor belt that is 1000 meters long. Jongensregeren (talk) 18:24, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Added, thanks! --Ondar111 (talk) 13:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Belt length
Testing this in build 136408 (Early Access), I am able to build belts of length 56 meters or exactly 7 foundations.Jongensregeren (talk) 14:57, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Mk. 1 conveyorbelts
I read the "Small LED's every 2 meters" on the information about the mk.1 conveyorbelts. When in reality it more looks like 20 centimeters. Idk, what's your opinion?
 * Corrected. Btw, it is 50 cm, not 20cm. Remember your character is 1.8m high.Kwjcool321 (talk) 14:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Accessibility and linking to other pages
- Added links to other pages in top right infobox - Further clarified 'Iron Ore' instead of 'Iron' - Links to the pages for the raw resources

Possible Glitch: Crossing Belts cause Items to move from one belt to another (?)
I build a factory where I was forced to put belts in a very narrow space so that they cross each other on various sections. Now the strange thing. Sometimes Coal seems to jump from its own belts onto the crossing bauxit belt which causes to blockade my refineries inputs regularly.To fix that I have to manually clean out the coal. I checked If I have somewhere a merger on the bauxit which is linked to the coal. But there is non. I checked the path of the Bauxit if it can be poluted somewhere with coal on the way from the miner to the factory. Nothing there either. Coal runs on a mark 2 belt. Bauxit on a mark 5. 212.110.239.229 16:52, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
