[SPZ2-3821] Space Belts Cause Gaps on Regular Belts

[ashen knot]

**This is a bug related to extractors, not space belts. Delete it
**~~
Shapes can enter a space belt in straight lines but will eventually scatter, causing gaps on the regular belts.
They will periodically shift positions on the space belts causing gaps on the regular belts every time they do.

I tested belts coming straight from shape miners.

The first screenshot shows the positions of the shapes on the space belt, before they shift.

Second screenshot - after they shift positions, a gap on regular belt.

Third screenshot - the more space belts being used from one foundation to another, the more gaps it will cause, like this example. I'm using the proper ratios and upgrades are equal.~~

Legit, i have the same issue. Its really annoying not being able to get 100% efficiency beacuse of this bug... I hope it gets fixed really soon and i dont have to use trains on small distances as well.

It's since the update. Those four belts in that third screenshot used to be always full

Wow thats awful, my situation isnt that bad for some reason, but its weird....

Those shapes are coming from extremely long belts which would likely make it worse because they have more time to keep changing positions, before reaching the few foundations in between those space belts

Oh god, cant you use trains? They work perfectly fine

Compared to the 2nd shot where there is only one gap

I haven't unlocked trains yet but I'm on that milestone. I've put the game on hold until this bug gets fixed however long it'll take

Fair enough, if you can just shorten your line somehow and push through its worth it imo

That's odd, I haven't observed this issue

Hi! Thanks for the report!

We have looked into your report and have logged into our system.

I'm having this issue too, more or less. For me, it seems that if the mining platform is in a different sector, sometimes belts just stop producing altogether. If I trace it back, it starts up again as I get closer. I keep having to go "look" at my miners to keep them producing. And they're only 1 sector away.

the display on the belts is only a visual illusion btw. U can see that cleary on corners

the inner and outer edge of the belt stay at the same rotation which means actual belt speed is ignored

( exterior of the belt has to travel more distance so the shape should get behind )

This is actually the miner gaps bug, you can mark it as closed
