Nothing carries the load on a slope but the ribs: each belt step every
rib moves one face cell and pushes the grains in its way, the layer on
the belt is only dragged by friction that gravity beats on 45 degrees,
and heaped grains roll back. Ribs never pass through grains or into
machines; a run that can't push stalls. The foot of an uphill run
scoops the feed into pockets. Ribs drawn as rubber bars in both looks.

The magic grip is gone: cleats every 8 face cells, 6 grains tall, carry
pockets uphill (about 71 grains/s against 90 flat) and overflow rolls
back. Sloped filters always run downhill; grains travel by gravity and
a shake, and sorting stays exact. Drawing needs another pass.

Player text says Screw conveyor; code uses screw (BP_SCREW, piece id
screw, screwIntake...). No compatibility code for old saves or
blueprints. Suite outputs match before and after apart from names.
