Conveyor Belt speed

[ROD]

The speed of the conveyor belt is currently insufficient, the maximum drilling rig extracts 720 resources, and the fastest belt carries 360 items, which makes it a vulnerable spot in many chains! I kindly ask you to add two types of new conveyor belts for 500 and 760 goods, so it will be possible to make more balanced production =)

Max belt is 240, no? Regardless, would be nice to have one more tier

they might have done this on purpose because of the planes to add trains later.

A possible solution is running a splitter and multiple conveyor tracks, but the initial output conveyor will always be a bottleneck.

However, the maximum drilling rig only extracts 720 resources for Rock and Iron Ore with Copper Ore at 540 resources with the rest of the resources at 360 resources or less. The Osmium Alloy conveyor should be upgraded to 360 resources and a higher tier conveyor at 720 resources should be added.

Trains dropped today. problem is still the same, it requires conveyors to fill/empty and that speed is capped at 240. if the resource is processed first then sent its fine. but like Kaos mentions the bottleneck is still there with the advanced miner 3 on low tier resources.

Huh.
Would not have occurred to me to ever use an expensive T3 miner on a rock or iron node.

By the time I have the T3, my warehouses are already stuffed with iron parts, and the production chains that use them are already built, and I'm focused on more end-game production that is not really using iron parts much if at all.

I may want to take another look at my earlier supply chains, especially the ones that have become slow feeding production of more complex parts... My solution up until now has been "go find something else to build for a bit".

I'm finding belt speed is not... consistent. I've laid the blue/green T3 belts at times and watched materials go by at a heck of a lot slower than 240/ppm. I wondered if I'd put down the T1 belt down instead.
I also had a bug where a T3 belt made in 2 sections was running at two different speeds, causing materials to bunch up as they crossed the line from the faster belt to the slower belt (and again, the whole belt was supposedly T3, 240ppm). Rebuilding that whole belt as a single piece gave me consistent (but relatively slow) speed.
