Conveyor throughput rates??

[Okkin]

Does anyone know how fast the different belts move items? I've tried searching, but can't find any real info on them. I'm surprised the rates are listed in game; It's important info to know so that you can be sure you don't waste workers producing product at rates that you don't have the ability to move.

The only person who would know is the Developer. What you could do if you really want to compare them is set up a small test. Build some crates or silos and fill them. Then go about 10 tiles away and build crates or silos. Build different types of conveyor belts and see how long it takes to move the items across.

You need to replace wooden belts with something better as soon as you can because they are waaaaay too slow.

The wiki states 1/2/4 items per second for Cloth/Metal/Magic Belts.

I believe it was mentioned when they were introduced that wood conveyors are half as fast as Cloth Conveyors, so that would put them in line with the rest at 0.5 items per second.

It is a video of the speed of all the conveyors.

And shows that the speeds are approximately 0.75/1.25/2/4 per second. (Note that the wiki is often outdated.)

And the wiki doesn't even mention chute is 3 items per second.
