Im trying to make a double positon elevator, and I set the capacity of the elevator as 2. But now it carry only one item from the conveyor and move up. I'd like to know can the elevator not lift unless two items are collected.

An conveyor end exit transfer recognizes only one item, BUT a longer side exit transfer recognizes more items at once.

Hi, because only one item can be sent to downstream via the exit transfer at once, so you can add a queue to the end of the conveyor and use batch of the queue.
