Alright, power line time. Again, using the strategy of running a grid of metal pillars along the underside of the ceiling.

Wires all connected.

A main power switch slapped down where the main entrance will be, and we're ready to power on and do some auditing!

Bunch of machines I just missed power lines for.

Also completely forgot to run lines for the emergency overflows on the 4 different sushi loops. Plus the actual AWESOME Sink and Dimensional Uploader.

So first big obvious problem is that one of the Limestone input lines is empty, while all the other inputs are arriving, no problem.

Not a power or missing-connection issue.

It IS however another instance of the Conveyor Lift phantom connection bug.

Fixed.

Next, I realized I have a pretty monumental design flaw here, on this little mini-sushi belt. See, I was trying to avoid making a weird crossover for the Rubber and Plastic loopbacks here, and they're so low-volume, I figured it'd be simpler to just merge and then split them.

Unfortunately, I neglected to consider that the OTHER side of these two lines (the ones not on this loopback) both feed into separate sushi loops for the Computers and Circuit Boards, That means that the lines feeding those 2 sushi loops will experience no backpressure, which in turn means that I either need to build a precision-ratio splitter to split the Rubber and Plastic lines BEFORE merging them onto this short sushi, or provide backpressure from the other side of each of these splits. But since those two sides merge together, their backpressure will merge, and ruin the whole thing. I.E. I can't balance the rubber and plastic splits here by just letting it back up, because it might back up such that the whole belt deadlocks.

I ultimately had to do the split, after all.

Also found a missing belt.

Awesome stuff as ever, keep it up!

I just realized I haven't played since I upgraded my GPU. Maybe I can finally make this game look like yours, especially with how prominent the lighting is.
