Conveyor lift connection

[Gufis Jail]

only snap/connect 1 I/O, must connect other I/O with a belt first. ex: when i want to snap conveyor lift from a smelter to a splitter, that lift can't snap to the splitter, so i must connect the lift with a belt to that splitter. But sometimes it connect perfectly. Which one is the bug?

same problem. I have to plan more space for that piece of belt. But usally one of the lifts in a role works perfectly while others cannot snap on one side.

I think it's meant to auto-connect, although I've found that it often doesn't. I usually just end up moving them 1 space over and manually connect them with a belt

The last time I checked, it has to do with vertical alignment of machines on fiscit foundations. Pay close attention to the white outline box of the machines. Haven't had any problems on concrete foundations in my new world. You will also get this problem when building on sloped foundations.

Listen for the "clink" when the Elevator is lined up. The lateral alignment has to be perfect, but there's a little bit of flexibility on length. If you hear "clink" that's a good connection.

so 3rd layer of splitter/merger trick is no good anymore? coz its rarely make a "clink" sound now on basic foundation. I usually connect 3rd layer stack of merger/splitter to a machine with conveyor lift before update 5 and it works well

it's working great in update 5 for me, and that's going to be released next week I think? This was buggy before for me as well, and I'm really happy with the changes they've made - including the "floor hole conveyor lift", which lets you really minimize the profile of the lifts.

I haven't played 5 yet. Does it still "clink" when the Elevator you're placing is lined up for connection?

[Gufis Jail]

yeah floor hole was great, but it seems little buggy yesterday... maybe it will be fixed later

always do "clink" for wall conveyor to another wall conveyor, but for splitter/merger was so rare for me...

It's a bug with update 5: if you try to snap a lift to both a machine and a splitter/merger it does snap only to one of them. It has been reported on the website already.
