Conveyor constantly losses connections to conveyors on other planes

I have build a library of components like a pallet stacker, destacker or wrapper. Each sits on a dedicated plane so I can easily move them around. My problem is that the conveyors outside the component plane constantly disconnects from the conveyors inside. Then I have to go around and reconnect them which is a real pita. I cant upload the client model and also its hard to replicate on demand. Is this a common issue? Is there a way to "recalculate" all conveyors so the reconnect with their neighbors?

Hey @Guldberg, I'm struggling to identify which conveyors in your image are being disconnected. Could you possibly post a GIF of the problem occurring? Also, does the issue occur on model reset or when moving the plane (or another time)? Thank you!

I dont move the planes around it it still happens. BUT I can trigger it by moving the plane and zooming in and out. I made a redacted version, so you should be able to replicate it. I did also figure out that I can make them appear again by move the entire base plane, so at least thats a good thing:) It doesnt work when they are not visible, so its not just a "visual" thing.

Okay @Guldberg I was able to replicate your issue (or at least part of it) and see what you are talking about. You said that you built a library of components - does that mean you made a User Library? If so, it would be helpful to debug the issue if you attached it here.
