Products vanish while traveling on conveyor belt. As items pass a series of belt connectors (near a flat lift), the amount on the belt keeps dropping until only 1 item remains. All alternative outputs on the belt are paused/blocked, so items are NOT being diverted — they are genuinely lost. Version:
Update 4 | v0.8.7a (b614)
mods:
Industrial Expansion v1.0.5
Extra Transports v0.0.1
Someone reported this issue on Discord, the cause seems to be the mod Industrial Expansion v1.0.5

I don't use the Extra Transports v0.0.1 mod and I don't have this problem with the Industrial Expansion v1.0.5 mod and I have a total of 108 mods.
I don't think the IE mod is causing this. These two mods modify conveyors among other things and it's not good to use more than one of these mods. There's also the Advanced Logistics mod by wtmxhyy and it didn't do any good either.
Until the game is in the final version and the bugs in the game engine are fixed, there will still be some bugs between the mods. But most importantly, the Captains from the MaFi Games fleet should cancel the parallel loading of the game with mods. This creates unnecessary complications and errors. And it would also be a good idea to adjust the structure of the saved game so that the saved game can be started even with the missing mods in some mode, where it would be possible to remove objects in the paused game that cannot be replaced with built-in ones.
This is exactly what i've been saying across several different topics for a few months now. It's been that much of a complication having mods load in parallel with the core game, and removing mods is practically impossible without the help of a recovery save.
hey so, i have a workaround
i know adding a mod might not be ideal to fix things, but since the conveyor lifts seem to be causing the problem, at least from my testing, you can grab vertical balancers to replace them for now
I don't use Extra Transports v0.0.1 and neither do lifts. I use Better Transport from Mavito. And I don't have this problem.
