Set divert speed in conveyors

Hi all,


Is it possible to change the divert speed of the transporter?

since I am simulating a Crossbelt and in reality it has no divert time since it takes it out as they move. since when simulating it at the time of performing the divert, it stops the items that are before it, to perform it and then resume. This affects me since I am using Fixed Interval Movement.


The space between items generated by the Fixed Interval Movement is lost.

You can do what @David Seo suggests and overlap the two conveyors to allow for the following items to continue while an item is moving to the side.

You can also create a new transfer type for the transfer point (the small graphic at the connection point between the conveyors. This let's you set the transfer speed or time.
