Tips for conveyors

[Ronak Kothari | Infinity]

So 35.6 hours into playing the game, I have finally reached 2.1 Mil. coins. The issue I have most often is with conveyors spilling resources. At first, I tried to keep barriers using windows and also thought maybe there are too many resources coming in at once which is causing this. Btw, the conveyor barrier also does not help.

Any suggestion to reduce congestion within the conveyor / resource splitter?

Hey!

Have you tried using Conveyor Centraliser belts? They're so handy!

In 2.0 resource spillage shouldn't be an issue, (2.0 will be a free update, more info soon!)

Looking forward to 2.0..

Yes, the first conveyor that is connected to the output of harvestor is a conveyor centralizer.. The issue I am having is with the output of the various splitters.. where the ores seem to stack up at the output..

Ah they get stuck falling out? Sometimes this can be fixed by pushing more pressure through the conveyors.

Hopefully that'll help :)

I see, but I made sure that I have 100%+ pressure before the conveyor system.. and if my understanding is correct, the pressure doesn't drop with each conveyor, but stays the same from start and then only calculates towards the end..right?

100% pressure already, you're right, pressure is consistent until it leaves the conveyors.

Hmm okay... Next thought then, it may change the way your build works/looks but having a straight/centraliser coming out of the splitter can help fix this too .

Hope that helps :D

Okay this sort of helps.. so far, no issues .. I believe that this might have been the proper fix.. Thanks!

If you have the splitters in a line right one after another, the ores, gems and powercrystals will aquire a horizontal velocity when dropping out of the splitter.
On the first and second splitter, it is barely noticable, the ores will drop straight down. On the third splitter, the ores will fall a bit further to the left and on fourth and fifth splitter, the ores will fall far left of the splitter.
If you want the ores to reliably fall into your smelter, you have to slap a cenrtalizer conveyor to the sorting exit of your splitter.

Centralizer between each splitter helped a lot..thanks
