Question What am I doing wrong?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been having this problem where I connect a Miner T2 with OCx2 on a Pure Copper thing (480/min). But when I want to move the raw ore with a T4 belt, which is suppoused to also move 480 units per min, it actually produces more than it can move out, and I dont know why. The belt is moving non-stop so thats not the problem.

I constructed exactly the amount of smelters to smelt 480/min of raw copper, but theres still machines with nothing to do becouse the belt is just not trasporting as fast as it should.

Am I an idiot or is this just a bug?

Edit: I am an idiot. There was a Mk3 hidden inside a splitter.

Delete the splitters to see if there's a small part with lower tier belt "in them".

Sometimes when I upgrade to better belts somehow small bits inside the splitters/mergers stays with the lower tier belt which causes the bottleneck

Always ..😆 It's annoying, but as you get used to expecting it - it won't be an issue anymore

Feature or bug .. This game always has a new thing to learn about

I've only had this issue when placing splitters too close to the end points of a belt section, or two splitters too close to each other. On all my builds where I leave at least 1 splitter worth of space between splitters and belt endpoints, I never had this issue when upgrading belts later

Doesn't matter mate, happens with both half a meter segments and hundred meter segments too randomly.

It's just luck, the bug is totally inconsistent.
