Belt saturation drops to 50 percent
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2026 5:30 pm
When miner with high speed (>150 items per second) is connected to splitter, it should saturate full belt. (behavior from 1.1)
However stop a flow for a moment, and restore it (by rotating a belt for example) - and it drops from 240/second to 120/s.
Rotate miner other side, and then back again - and it get back to 240 again.
When yellow belts are connected, saturation is on 5/8 level (5 items on belt, should be 8).
Screeshot attached.
Save attached (factorio 2.0 + only 3 official mods, quality, rails + space age)
To go from 8 items on belt to 4 - rotate belt, so flow is stopped. rotate belt again.
To go from 4 items on belt to 8 - rotate miner different way, wait till items disappear, rotate miner back - 8 items on belt again.
It behaves strange for yellow belt - there are still 5-6 items on belt (should be 8 too - this miner is 150+ items per second)
