as shown in the video belts do not distribute items as they should (at least how id expect they should)

#

i think the 3 space belts combined splitting off to 3 is the most interesting cause all 3 end up running 89%
but they look full

Interesting test. I guess I run full spacebelts everywhere so I haven't been splitting/merging them to notice this.

#

i believe it happens at normal belts too

graceful lion Apr 8, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

Hmmm, let me set that up...

lean marsh Apr 8, 2025, 12:24 PM

#

i had thought about putting my factory as a bp to show what happens with it but.. id rather not tbh lol

#

i noticed even zman layer makers got incosistent tho

graceful lion Apr 8, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

Ummm, these don't seem to be working in the beta...

lean marsh Apr 8, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

they are default empty

#

its known already

#

they still work just enter a code yk

graceful lion Apr 8, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

ahhhhh

lean marsh Apr 8, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

also let me look for zmans example he showed it on belts iirc

#

#

my tmam really shows the issue tho.. what was once 100% throughput all the time jumps between sometimes less than 80 and 98%

#

sometimes itl say 92 and look like 100

#

its really odd

I will look into this when I get back on Monday.

#

results could be different now since this is pretty old build now but who knows

solemn lichen Jan 1, 2026, 8:49 AM

#

Changed it from Duplicate to needing more information.

I don't think so.

lean marsh Jan 1, 2026, 8:51 AM

#

it was a build or two before dimensions idk if they changed it or not i never retested this on dimensions release

solemn lichen Jan 1, 2026, 8:51 AM

#

lean marsh it was a build or two before dimensions idk if they changed it or not i never re...

Was it always this way? Or did it act differently in earlier releases?

lean marsh Jan 1, 2026, 8:51 AM

#

i assume it persists but it couldve been fixed lol

#

well before dimensions we only has 12 belt space belts

#

this bug came about when we got the 4x throughput i wanna say

#

for the space belt side of things anyways

solemn lichen Jan 1, 2026, 8:52 AM

#

so when there were tunnels it acted differently?

lean marsh Jan 1, 2026, 8:53 AM

#

i cant say.. i never tried this splitting of belts pre dimension/4x throughput

solemn lichen Jan 1, 2026, 8:53 AM

#

I will see how it acts on monday with earlier versions

lean marsh Jan 1, 2026, 8:54 AM

#

before dimensions there wasnt a reason to split off a spacebelt cause it was just the 12 belts yk

#

but now with 4x its kinda a must do thing and even more so with the new mode limiting throughputs

solemn lichen Jan 1, 2026, 8:57 AM

#

It would be nice to be able to avoid this:

lean marsh Jan 1, 2026, 8:58 AM

#

yup..

#

same deal with this as sting showed

in case readers can not see the post above:

Straight manifolds are working correctly (logically and like every other factory game out there). Please do not change this behaviour. Variable ratio belt splitters however would be most welcome.

#

You mean Configurable ? if so, i agree 😄

mortal glen You mean Configurable ? if so, i agree 😄

Yup, otherwise there would be too many variants.

#

The problem with making a straight manifold "smart" to distribute evenly you'd need a way to mark the start point and end points. Having each belt split be independent is the easiest way to do it. But doesn't preclude alternate (configurable) ratios.
