Conveyor Belts
Adds wooden conveyor belts for factory automation. They carry items and animals, and hook up to smelters, kilns and chests. Also comes with item filters, a grinder, trash bins and a power mill to run it.Conveyor Belts
Wooden belts that move your items and your creatures for you. Build a small factory and let automation do the hauling.
Boars fall from their pen onto a belt. The grinder kills them. The loot rides on. The filter sends the leather to one chest, and the link puts the meat into another.
What is new in 0.3.0
- Long items ride the belts. Items lie in one tidy line along the belt and turn with it round corners. Logs no longer get stuck at a link or jam the belt.
- The grinder takes big creatures like a lox too.
- Auto-pickup no longer takes items off belts. E still picks them up. To turn it back on, see Settings below.
- Settings windows stay open as far away as the E prompt shows.
- Every player and the server need 0.3.0.
The pieces
Build them all with the hammer, in the Misc tab.

Drop floor | A floor that lets only grown creatures fall through (or only young ones). |
 |

 |
Link | Puts items into a smelter, kiln, windmill, spinning wheel or chest. It can also take items out of a chest. Press E to set its mode and how many items it moves. |

Settings windows
Press E on a link or an item filter to open its settings.
Power
Every belt, filter, grinder and link needs power from a power mill. Pieces that touch share the power. If there is not enough, they stop. Look at a piece to see why it stopped.
Playing with friends
Everyone must have the mod: every player and the server.
Install
Use a mod manager (r2modman, Gale or Thunderstore Mod Manager). It installs BepInEx and Jotunn for you.
Settings
The costs, the power numbers and the rope length can be changed in the config file. On a server, only an admin can change them.
Each player can also turn off [Building] SnapToLinks. Then chests and machines no longer snap to links.
Each player can also turn on [Pickup] AutoPickupFromBelts. Then auto-pickup takes items off belts again.
