How do I turn a belt around?

Arrows on the piece are the whole interface. There is no second mode and no listed speed upgrade inside the game. Two pages call the pace 1.1 meters per second and label it a community measurement, not a tooltip. A different note from players puts mass flow around 80 to 100 kilograms a minute and does not convert that into meters. I print both and I do not divide one by the other to fake a third number. Footprint of a straight piece is 1.08 by 2.46 meters, about 1.02 meters tall.

A clog is usually a curve whose arrow faces a splitter input, or an incline that ends short of the port. Capsules do not path-find. If the line stopped after you rotated one piece, rotate it back before you buy another Packager. The catcher can sit beside a belt, and whether the catcher itself must be belted to a station to pay you is still a split story. Belt geometry and payment rules are different questions.

Throughput planning without a calculator

A press that wants a kilogram every few seconds is not automatically under the belt's ceiling. The 80 to 100 kg per minute band is wide, and it is a player measurement. I would watch the buffer on the machine, not a spreadsheet, until someone publishes a second timed run with a method. Splitters at $5 are how you fan one belt into two. They do not speed the belt up.
