Conveyor meter can't split eggs.

[zhtzeng]

Lets say there are 10 eggs in a rail.
I try to set conveyor meter to 1/2/3 ..9 unit and it doesn't pass anything.
If I set unit to 10, it pass all 10 eggs.
Is this a bug?

not really a bug but more of a frustrating mechanic. I believe its because the conveyor rail has a max weight (not unit) for each "packet" at 20 KG. 10 eggs would only count as 10kg max depending on your type of egg, so the conveyor rail counts it as one "packet". it wouldn't split the packet like water pipes or gas pipes do with the valves. Its a meter, so it "counts" the weight of the package and sends through packages up to the limit set without splitting said packages. at least that is what I've experienced when I tried to use the meter for small food packages and got the same issue. 

if that isn;t what you are seeing, trying adding screenshots and we can try to help troubleshoot.

Not sure if that helps but you can use a refrigerator with the conveyor loader to send 1kg egg to rails.

Set refrigerator to 1kg and let auto sweeper get the 1kg egg and send to a higher priority conveyor loader.

This is also a solution to my auto food delivery system and I adore you for it.
