Elevator 4 rated output is 2560/min (or 2 belt4s).
Using 2 belts and 2 loaders, you can not achieve 2560/min from the elevator - See Video.
v 0.6.0.21116

Best i can figure, this looks like a 1200 loader issue within the elevator itself. Since the 3 loader vs 2 loader to the elevator itself does not appear to substantially change it, i would think the transfer from the mini container on the top/bottom and the cart is likely the limiting factor to look into.

Screenshots. 1 using 3 belts & loaders for elevators, 1 using 2 belts & loaders for elevators, 1 sanity check using just belts.

Why such a complicated setup? Are you seeing the same in simple setups?

It grew sort of in pieces but it needs th elevator-container-elevator. And container->elevator and elevator->container to prove it is the elevator itself and not something else.

I believe this supports your report, Bob.

I have four full belts at the bottom, all blue, with a blue freight elevator and blue belts at the top. I expect the input of four full belts to match the output of four full belts at the top, but it's not.

Again, here.

Well, you'd only be pulling in 2 belts worth of material for the elevator4. I was using the container as the traffic monitor because its hard to visually gauge it. You'd be pulling in at 1/2 speed for the 4 belts then 2/3 for the 3 belts. It's quite close, but it doesnt seem to be exactly, a bit under.
