is it bug or expected, was working fine before (and still working in stable branch)
usually when conveyor belt was full (it is connected to garage port) the pallet drop will drop item to pallet, but it seems not working in unstable branch and give me that warning

#

This belt to pallet thing got automated, it should have converted it but it looks like something went wrong in your case

#

Try sticking the lot of it in your inventory and rebuild it

native oar
#

this is what it looks like right now when it's fully functional

vague geyser
#

i see, will try to delete and build it again then, i make it from blueprint, maybe thats why

#

i think its confirmed bug

#

i dont know, maybe ken want to help other by doing something like automatic things

#

i delete the conveyor belt, create it again

#

but it automatically create pallet pickup point

#

that i cant delete

#

@pure matrix is it possible to undo this automatic things? or give an option to turn it off?

vague geyser
#

and picked from other side

#

was working well before

#

also i notice that the "pallet drop" item was gone

#

when it automatic added things, i cant achieve my goal

native oar
#

why are you trying to build it so complicated when there's no longer a need for that

vague geyser
#

dont know, will try the new one then, so sad 😌
its actually not complicated and working well, not blocking the production and can increase/decrease couriers by saw the pallet

#

if drop on/off put at the same belt, it will block the production

native oar
#

why, it still ends up in the same place

#

the only thing those 2 side belts give you is a spot for about ... 5 extra boxes

#

which you could now replace with 2 more pallets since you can just aim all pallets onto 1 single belt

vague geyser
#

hmmm its hard to explain that

#

but well

native oar
#

i get what you're trying to say

#

you're pointing out the isse that happens in the manufacturing area where belts get blocked for printer/assembler output

#

but once the boxes have moved to this area, they're no longer in the way, all this area is is storage and pickup

#

so the best thing in this area is the most amount of storage space

#

to keep the boxes from backing up into the production area

vague geyser
#

am too lazy to draw using paint but well

#

using my old method, the one that will be blocked is the boxes from pallet

#

using yours, the production will be blocked

#

it is base on my exp

#

i know that when there are boxes at conv, box from pallet will not moving back to conv

#

but sometimes it happen and block the production

#

at 1 of my run it have max 3 mio/month i think

#

and it only need 2 garage doors

#

it depends on the behaviour of the doubled up thing i guess? since the "stick on belt" thing used to be in an always stick on belt state, whereas this new thing is now sharing the stick on belt and dump on pallet

#

it wouldn't let the belt block because it would switch states to pick it up from the belt

#

in theory

#

before need 2 item and now only 1

#

sinces before it have chance to blocked the prod, i think it will be the same

native oar
#

would changing the belt to mk2 compensate?

#

the garage door can only handle mk1

#

but would give the pallets and the output line extra time

vague geyser
#

what is mk1 and mk2? will try it

native oar
#

belts go up to mk5, i'm not sure what speeds they are

vague geyser
#

like tier?

native oar
#

yeah

vague geyser
#

it unlocked for years right

#

it help indeed

#

ah no, it unlocked instantly

#

but cost more electric

#

well will try to use that, thanks

native oar
#

if that fixes your issue you can clean the whole thing up 😄

native oar
vague geyser
#

but well

native oar
#

"plz can we fuck this new thing off" doesn't explain the issue with it, hopefully he'll read the whole conversation then haha

vague geyser
#

sometimes scaling down is needed right, if its to make newbie life better and can bring more player, its ok i think

#

depend on the goal i guess

#

for me i enjoy doing some puzzle in manufacture stuff

vague geyser
#

i confirmed it doesnt work as well as before

#

given warning while 2 pallet still empty, its like the paint i draw

this is fixed in the next update. The pallets didn't properly check the status of garage ports and helipads directly after their conveyor connection
