The mod provides 3 additional underground belts, v1, v2 and v3. If you attempt to stretch a belt and you hit something that would generally require an underground belt, it will only look in your inventory for v1, not v2 or v3. It should prioritize the largest one first and fall back to the other versions; since any of them could work.

In the mean time, there is no sense in applying the v1 when v3 is far superior.

To do this (for anyone else doing this), I updated the data.lua, line 230:

It was:

BetterBelts_addEntity_Belt(className .. "-transport-belt",classSpeed, className .. "-underground-belt-v1")

I changed it to:

BetterBelts_addEntity_Belt(className .. "-transport-belt",classSpeed, className .. "-underground-belt-v3")

This allows me to use the v3 belt but the same problem still applies but I won't be using the v1 or v2 belt.

The Green Loader does not output fast enough to fully compress a green belt.

Please increase the speed of the loader to match the green belt and produce full compression out of a chest onto green belt.

The filter for "High Speed Loader" (The green one - sorry not in game atm) is missing. :(
To be more specific, you cannot set filters for High Speed Loaders on inserters, loaders, and I believe logistics requests(?)

I'm not sure if this is your mod's error or if it's a loader redux error. I posted this on both githubs.

Please add a short explanation what I can expect from this mod ("Why would I want to install this?")

Could you make a high speed input? or make the loader able to push into containers? also maybe a smart loader? This mod could revolutionize the factorio experience.

In Factorio 1.1.9, Smart Belt Dragging was added to the game engine, allowing automatic placement of underground belts when dragging regular belt through obstacles.

To support this feature, belts need the 'related_underground_belt' property defined: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/TransportBelt#related_underground_belt

This message has been manually sent, based on automatic detection of your mod defining (either through explicit definition or use of deepcopy) its own belt prototypes.

Thank you for your time!

the mod dosent work on newest vertione 0.18.1 with is so annoying so plz fix it

It's just me or the animation speed of the belt is too fast? It should be like the vanilla belts (all of them have the same animation speed)

It used to be possible to fill up a cargo wagon via Loaders, but this does not seem to be the case anymore, which to me sounds like a bug. Here is my test-setup:

Hello! Thank you for making Better Belts, I love it!

Just a teeeny tiny request - Could you make it compatible with the '5DIM' menu structure, where belts, splitters, loaders, etc. have their own little tab on the construction menu?

Are there any plans for making a Belt Sorter device for your high speed belts? I use https://mods.factorio.com/mod/beltSorter quite a bit, but they only go up to 60 items/sec.

the loader icon does not show in circuit network or logistics network
so i cant auto request or place any limits with circuits.

hi,
i missed better belts to work with deadlock - so i just "updated" it via data-updates.lua

`if deadlock then
deadlock.add_tier({
transport_belt = "BetterBelts_ultra-transport-belt",
colour = {r=0,g=211,b=37},
technology = "logistics-3",
order = "d",
loader = "Ultra-CompactLoader",
loader_ingredients = {
{"express-transport-belt-loader",1},
{"iron-gear-wheel",40},
},
loader_recipe = "Ultra-CompactLoader",
loader_item = "Ultra-CompactLoader",
beltbox = "Ultra-Beltbox",
beltbox_ingredients = {
{"express-transport-belt-beltbox",1},
{"steel-plate",40},
{"iron-gear-wheel",40},
{"processing-unit",5},
},
beltbox_recipe = "Ultra-Beltbox",
beltbox_item = "Ultra-Beltbox",
beltbox_technology = "deadlock-stacking-3",
})

if data.raw.furnace["BetterBelts_ultra-transport-belt-beltbox"] then
	data.raw.furnace["express-transport-belt-beltbox"].next_upgrade = "BetterBelts_ultra-transport-belt-beltbox"
end
if data.raw.loader["BetterBelts_ultra-transport-belt-beltbox"] then
	data.raw.loader["express-transport-belt-loader"].next_upgrade = "BetterBelts_ultra-transport-belt-loader"
end

end`

this will add deadlocks mini loaders and the stackingbox for better belts, maybe you can / will add this in future ;)
