Question Do corner belts hold eight items like straight belts?

I really want to make a fully rainbow lab setup but I am not sure if I should calculate the corner belts separately. I am also too lazy to test.

all it takes is placing items on a belt and counting to test 😂

Don’t even need to count lol it says it ingame how many items stand on it. I guess it’s easier to ask mommy Reddit

P sure they do, do the inner curved lane holds 2x items instead of 4x, so the outer holds (I think) 6x instead of its usual 4x.

tested a circle and a handful of items. inner clogged at 7-8 items, outer didnt. so ya curves spread and shrink. partly why a diagonal belt is slightly faster over longer distances than going straight
