Player Tips & Tricks

The Conveyor Belt Mk.I can carry 6 items per second or 360 items per minute.

Stack size per inventory slot: 200

Placing down

Once the start point has been selected, pressing R will switch the direction the belt will follow before turning 90 degrees to reach the destination point.
When placing belts, altitude of current point can be changed by pressing the ↑ and ↓ arrow keys. Pressing 0 (Zero) will reset to ground.
While the editor requires 2 tiles at either ends to level off before being able to turn. On the downstream part of the slope, where it levels off, one can erase a belt segment and place a turn 1 tile earlier.
Pressing Shift while placing will disable building snapping, allowing easier laying of belts over buildings/other belts.

Merging

Joining belts together is allowed, but only in the direction that they merge their cargo together.

Direct interaction

It is possible to place items directly on conveyor belts. To do this, mouse over a section of belt until a white box appears. Click the box to bring up an interaction dialog window, with a circular port that displays what is on that section of the belt. If there is nothing on the belt, you can take an item from your inventory and place it in the port (if you have several of the same item to place, hold down the mouse button; there is no need to click for each individual item).

Conversely, you can take items directly from belts in the same manner.

Mass-Deletion

When deleting belts, holding Shift before clicking a belt will delete the entire belt all at once (within build range).
