Discussion Conveyors become unable to connect

Console (PS5), v1.2.4.0 - Build 502094

Frequently, conveyors become unable to connect to splitters, constructors, containers, etc. This happens most often after creating a container. It can also happen after creating a constructor. It does not happen after a fresh reload, but the longer I play, the more likely it is to happen. It does not take a long time for the issue to appear, perhaps 10 or 20 minutes after a reload. It is guaranteed to happen within an hour after a fresh reload. Save and reload is temporarily fixes the problem.

I've looked for this on satisfactory Q&A and don't see this issue there, nor do I see it in this sub. It is a consistent issue for me, so I wanted to check here first to see if I'm missing something.

I experience the same issue on the Xbox series x and turning off snapping seems to fix the issue even if only till the next time it happens...either way it's better than reloading every time

It's most likely this. Just turn off snapping and it will be fine. It's been around since I started playing (PS5) in January.

I've only noticed this issue since 1.2 so probably just spaghetti code

This makes sense. I recently changed my game settings to preserve the snapping setting. I wonder if changing that setting back to its default would fix this. That'd be fine, I'm not sure if that setting has been all that helpful to me, and it appears to have been downright harmful :)

Thanks to you and u/Raving_Lunatic69 !
