Zip line planks and stems

[gutlor]

I have sent hundreds of pallets of planks and stems down my lines to my main base. Now when I send them I can't even depend on a single pallet making it down the line without disappearing. I am doing the same thing I always have, so what changed in the game to make it almost impossible to send them now? I know there are those of you that might not be having problems, so no need to chime in.

Never heard of this so let me make sure I understand it correctly.

You’re placing planks and stems on the ziplines like we’ve always been able to do but somehow for you they enter an abyss and disappear somewhere between the start and end of the zipline?

Only a few other things I can think of off the top of my head is does the zipline pass through a narrow area? Planks are wider than you on zipline and I don’t know if they have collision or not as they slide down so just a random idea I had.

Other question, and I hate to ask this but I’m just covering my bases, but is the end of the zipline in a precarious spot where stuff just falls off somewhere when it lands?

I tried about 7 pallets yesterday and got none to land properly. I am sending them across the pond to a rock by the oak tree. The landing has 3 palisade walls that were used to gather up the supplies once they dropped. Even if I dropped a load of 8 stems on the zipline and followed them in constant visual, once they drop off the line there won't be 8 setting there when I land. I used to think it was only when it got out of visual range, however this is not the case. That was verified yesterday. There are no narrow areas or obstructions present.
There is an issue with the speed of the items. I notice some are much slower than others. The group always stays the same speed, however I can zip and overtake them sometimes. Other times I stay the same speed as them. The slow zipline speeds always fail to drop properly.

I just tried disconnecting, repositioning the anchor points and reconnecting the zip lines. I also took out the deflecting wall and rebuilt it. Nothing works. I'm beginning to think this site is no longer valid to ship to as 19 of the 21 stems fall thru the rock into oblivion, repeatedly. I have had zipline anchor points sink below ground all the way up to the attach point. This is not the case. I think it may be the deflection causing it to pass thru the ground, like an arrow they don't want you to find.

Fixed it by putting a pebblet foundation beneath the zip line drop point. The planks and stems were clipping thru the ground off the deflection from the drop like an arrow kicked by a dust mite. I just love wasting 3 days to figure out how to fix what didn't used to be broken.

Those rocks have always been an issue with so many things it seems. To this day no matter how much they say they've fixed it, so many bugs among other things get trapped beneath those rocks. Yesterday, I threw a stinger spear to kill an aphid and the thing clipped through the rock, had to reload the previous auto save to get it back.

Even though I always build a base in that location, I try to build all of it on top of a foundation I build.
