Item leaves conveyor on wrong way

Hi All,

I have a small simple model with some conveyors. The problem I have is that at some point a items moves off the conveyor and keeps moving forever (See the blue item in the picture, when you look in the tree you can see that the item is still on the black conveyor)

Why is this happening and how can I prevent it? When I set the black conveyor to accumulating there is no problem, but I do not want that conveyor to be accumulating.

Thanks for the help,

Patrick

Hey, sorry for making you wait on a response. This definitely looks like a bug. I've sent it to the devs to look at. In the meantime, I noticed that you can sometimes make the issue on the blue lane go away by fiddling with the location of the Decision Point, or size of the black conveyor. It seems to then make the problem happen on the Green lane, but maybe you could slightly alter or size your conveyors and see if you can alter it in such a way to get it to work for you.

Hi @Sam Stubbs, changing the layout a little bit indeed shifts the problem such that we can work around it for know. I am looking forward to the bug fix
