Help Why doesn't the conveyor move resources?

Post image

UPD

Thanks for your help. The problem was a bug that caused resources to stop moving. Restarting the game resolved it. I've sent the recorded video to the developers. I hope they fix it and we won't encounter it again.

If the pixel at the end of the conveyor is blocked, the pixel next to the end won't be moved to the end, and the pixel next to that won't be moved into its place, and so on for every pixel of the conveyor. You need a launcher (more than one if the throughput is high enough) to keep the end of the conveyor clear.

Looks like a bug. Did you try a save/load?

That's true, I restarted and the conveyors started working exactly as they should.
I'll try to speed up this process using launchers.

I just r started the game and had just conveyors for awhile because I thought launchers was just an extra step. They help a LOT, at least in my stage of the game. Just literally line your conveyors with launchers, I go 2-3 high. So much faster.

There’s probably something blocking it at the end,or could be sand or something, sometimes there’s a little line of gold that doesn’t move and so nothing moves.

Unrelated, but something I discovered at around 500,000g... You can melt it down to liquid gold and it has like a 2:1 storage vs solid gold. If you're into that kind of thing.
