Will you please make the curves into steel rollers? An actual belt cannot be curved, unless it's made up of magical stretchy material :) Try with a paper cutout. You won't be able to roll it :)
The 0.2.1 version flipped all my turned conveyors the opposite direction, when I try to fit the conveyors back in, they no longer snap in correctly. Based on the description for your 0.3.1 version, I wonder if some how the files aren't messed up and downloading 0.2.1 is still grabbing 0.3.1 files.
This Old Fart is a bit confused! Do I download 0.1 and overwrite with 0.2.1 and 0.3.1a progressively, or do I download only a single file of my choosing? Sorry, my brain isn't working too well today.
OK could you tell me what I did wrong? I installed with NMM loaded the game. It says it has the belt but does not show up in game or is placable.. I have the mod Manufacturing extend could it conflict with it?
I am having a similar issue. I have the DLC and the mod installed via NMM. The pieces are there in the menu however they are invisible both in the menu and when you try to place them in the world.
It appears that when I packed the .ba2 for upload I mis-named it. Since I also had the properly named archive in my data directory I didn't see the mistake.
I'm not at my main computer so I can't fix it right now, but we'll update with the fix shortly. If you don't want to wait you can fix it yourself by renaming "Curved Conveyors - Main.BA2" to "Curved_Conveyor - Main.ba2"
Sorry for the mistake and thank you guys for pointing it out.
Was just gonna request the same thing- ive got the supportless conveyors setup around a few of my settlements as 'moving walkways' (ok, they're really slooooow, but it's the idea that counts), curved corners would definitely enhance them.
Yeah, I used the Conquest mod to build a bridge to Spectacle Island, and then when Contraptions came out, I thought "Why walk to Spectacle Island, when you can ride?"
Answer: because it takes a long ass time... really long, like 6 game hours...
cool mod :3 is it possible to make a Xtra Xtra Broad and long conveyor? ^^ i want to build a arena above a big horizontal gate which will open after a fight and the corpses fall on conveyors under the gate :')
Absolutely, one way or another. Extra long seems a bit redundant as you can just chain them together. But I'll take a look at making broad ones. How broad do you mean; 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x?
And do you mean the curved one in particular, because that might be much trickier.
Probably that actual conveyor belts cannot make curved corners (or any corners really). It takes special conveyor plates to form the curves at airport baggage claim areas, and those must form a complete loop of travel.
There are curved conveyor belts that are full mats and don't need plates like at the airport. The only reason why the curved conveyor belt here wouldn't work is due to it not being curved. That, or you have to assume it's a very stretch material. A quick search will show several solutions: https://www.google.com/search?q=curved+conveyor+belt
YES, there are curved conveyor belts, the belts just aren't straight. I've been in manufacturing/processing for about 20 years and have seen them myself. They're less common than plastic linked/modular belts for curves, but they do exist (I'm guessing due to potential tracking issues on install and then later repeatedly over time if the material stretches unevenly...not sure, I program them, I don't do mechanical maintenance).

I'm curious if you can make the vanilla roller curves have this functionality.

Thanks for letting us know! And continue to should any other issues arise.
can you add a version without supports so you can easily put it on floors
thanks
I had the same idea for "lazy sidewalks." I tried speeding the conveyors way up to running speed, but things get really wonky.

Right now i've got the curved rollers as endcaps, but it'll be cooler once I can make it a continuous loop.
pretty nice mod

We'll just put these in with the other miracles of SCIENCE! we see in the game.
