grim fog
I noticed random holes in my belts, after investigating it a bit I figured out that holes appearing when my painting block is off screen (or zoomed out).
Whenever my camera is far enough, holes appear in conveyors, but 10-20 seconds after zooming in, conveyor is back at 100%. Attaching video with it (to prove that I'm not crazy 😅 )
Feels like distance is somehow affecting production.
Transcoded video to x264 because Discord.
Also tested on 0.0.8, issue persists

I noticed this yesterday and commented on it with my own screenshots and video:

It does seem to be linked to painting.
Also, the OP of that post submitted a bug report:

I just noticed this too! hoping it can be solved.
I was wondering why the output of my factories hasn't been 100% saturated

Same here. There are holes in the belt when i zoom out or the painer block is off screen.

Also having this issue! I also get inefficiencies whenever I pause the game and load back in

Also having this issue, it had me questioning my sanity for a minute cause the problem vanished every time I tried to look for it 🙃

i guess this becomes most noticeable when people start building make-anything-machines

Temp fix is to double gate

Joined to report this, glad its known, thanks for the temp solution cook

Same issue as everyone ^^'

yep, ran into this myself. Integrated painting into my MAM, and because I was initially using belt readers to bypass stacking if it wasn't necessary (i.e. if input1 AND input2 then stack, otherwise bypass it), I noticed the MAM was building incorrect shapes if I left to look at something else on the map. Seems like they're around 80ish% working if not on-screen or very near (edit: should add it only happens when something needs painting; if painting isn't necessary it doesn't have this problem)

Ugh, this is really annoying, and makes my MaM much harder. I could double gate, but so much of my wiring isn't really in places where that's easy to do
steady harness
yea same

what do you mean by "double gate"? Does it get around this painter issue somehow?
karmic lance
Any word from the devs on this? Haven't booted up the game since I encountered the issue, it fucks up my new mam pretty thoroughly and there's no way I can fit in double gates
steady harness
yea same

I haven't tried the double gate workaround, but since that fixes it for some, it also explains why I see this on my crystal generator. Just chiming in that this affects crystal generator throughput as well, so that if anyone tries searching this will show up as a result.
