so how do conveyor elevator work ?

[Leaf Fox]

so how do you get that thing to work, No matter what I ask it to move, nothing happens, the filtering only seems to work up top, and i sat to to everything
yet it still dont move anything.
is it one of the ( its WIP come back in x amount of time ), that is not really implemented in the game as of yet ?

also side question, why is it showing the Icon for Silicon when you mouse over it with conveyor belts .

They do work like you think they do - every thing you put into f.e. the left side comes out of the left side on the other end and vice versa. ignore the silicon icons.

i find its easier to use storages with elevators. that way you set the resource to the container and then connect the belt and it pulls what it needs from whichever output

if your elevator does not work at all; destroy and rebuild it..

right now it's bugged and will break every time you load a save

i had some issues with the elevator as well, i ending up putting storage crates on either end then it doesn't seem to matter if you put the belts in the same orientation on the surface and underground as they will go to the correct storage

Can you specify this a bit more? This may or may not reduce the amount of elevators i have in my base.

if you connect a belt from an elevator to a container with a specified resource it will only draw that resource.

items only move on a belt if they are asked for or nothing is blocking anything.

It will come out where you tell it to come out. Put game in pause, put a belt out of the opening you want to use, then click the belt symbol on the elevator, then the gear and then you can tell it what you want to come out of that one.
