items on belt dont move when looped

[Myth494]

I was messing around with circuit counters for items passed on a belt when i mistakenly dropped a stack of items into a chest unloading onto a belt that was looped on itself (full circle).

When there were items filling the belt, the items stopped moving on that side of the belt. Even the counter stopped so i realised it wasnt just graphical.

I then tried to replicate and i managed every time, by manually dropping onto the belt, splitters and inserters.


I know red and blue belts do this (did not test yellow)

Ah, tried looking for another post. Must not have been using the right words. Thanks for clarifying
