Hey @hexed terrace sorry about that, we're taking a look into that issue to figure out how to solve it, thanks for bringing it though!

this issue happens with curved belt pieces as well as vertical belts. i feel like that the belt hub has a logic check in place for belts going perpendicular to it only (when a belt is placed, it still uses the four-directional placement rule) but the curved belt in the picture is also in the same direction and is curved. it makes me think if the hub checks if the target belt is curved for validity. the same seems to happen to conveyor lift regardless of rotation too. obviously pointing the belt to the hub will just make it deposit items instead

The Vertical Belts are supposed to receive stuff directly from Hubs next to them, and also they're supposed to receive stuff from all sides so it will happen.
The Curved Belts shouldn't though, thanks for the information, I'll pass it to our team!

here's another one and this time its on placement

#

when placing a belt next to a hub that makes sense (the belt going around and missing the hub) the hologram states the belt will miss the hub but the hub steals the input and keeps it for its own

#

i presume here that the logic behind it falls to what gets higher priority with the input - both the hub and the vertical outputs have the same perpendicular belt to try and accomodate. hub gets checked first so it just wins. but the hologram checks the lift first because it assumes nothing else exists

Interesting, I'm not sure if it that's intended, lemme ask internally. Can you still manually rotate the belt to disconnect from the hub and achieve the curve you wanted?
