Conveyor Belt Mk.2

The conveyor belt Mk.2 is an improved version of the Mk.1. It can transport twice as many items per minute (120/min) but it is much more expensive.

Speed
There are 6 tiers of conveyor belt (4 available in Early Access), which determines their speed. When items join a belt at a rate higher than the belt's speed, items can be compressed together. For a visual comparison of the different belt speeds, see this YouTube video from Coffee Stain Studios.

Length
The maximum length a belt can span between Conveyor Poles and/or buildings is 49 meters (6.125 foundation lengths). The cost is approximately 0.5 resources per meter, though it varies between 0.4-1 for shorter lengths.

Spiral conveyor elevator
Engineers can easily make an early-game spiral conveyor belt by placing stairs down and using them as a foundation for the conveyor belt. There must be at least 2 foundation spots open to make a spiral conveyor staircase. The stairs can be removed once the conveyor is set up.
