These changes will double the production of Electronic chips and therefore further increase the capacity of your yellow inserter production. This also means the blue inserter of the new copper wire plant has to be moved from feeding directly into the Yellow Inserter plant to the Electronic Chips plant. The old gear wheel factory (red) is switched to produce copper wire. This new design features a new factory (orange) placed directly below the Yellow Inserter plant. This design will need 8 blue assembly plants for creating green flasks. The new design produces 96 Yellow Inserters per minute (instead of 60), creating a perfect balance with the 96 Transport belts per minute. There is an easy way to balance the design. To construct 60 green flasks per minute you will need about 5 blue assembly plants. Therefore the system will be bottle necked to the production of 60 flasks per minute. It also produces 60 Yellow Inserters per minute. This system in it’s current setup produced 96 transport belts per minute. On aeide7 suggested I would include some performance evaluation data. They will be stored in a buffer chest that is currently storing over 3000 flasks. Don’t forget to place power and a few input and output inserters.Ĭheckout the combined result: In this example I am forcing the finished flaskes on the left side of the transport belt. Now set them to produce green science flasks our brand new yellow inserters and transport belts. This layout will support quite a few factories so construct a few. Don’t forget to make use of the left and right side of the belts by connecting from the sides.Ī blue factory will be required to automate the production of green science packs (science pack 2). It also needs to have access to iron plates.Īfter both blocks have been constructed you can simply feed both the finished transport belts and yellow inserters onto a single line. Set it to produce Yellow Inserters. Now it will need two inserters to feed the electronics and gear wheels. The fourth and final factory will have to b e constructed between the Electronics and Gear wheel factory. This factory will take iron plates from the main line. The third factory will be producing gear wheels. It will also need to take Iron plates from the main line Do this by simply connecting them with an inserter. The second factory will take the copper wire from the first factory. Place an inserter so it can take copper plates from the main line. The first factory will be set to copper wire. In this example I also need a splitter to get some iron from the main line. By letting the copper and iron merge from the sides the required double resource line is created. Construct a fourth factory left of factory two and three. Construct three factories next to it with a gap of 1 tile. Main linesįirst we will need a main line that provides both iron plates and copper plates. In this example we will simply be using multiple factories with little to none transport belts. In order for this plan to work you need to be able to get both iron plates and copper plates onto a single lane. Yellow inserter: Electronics (copper wire+iron plate) + Gear wheel (iron plate) + Iron plateĪ traditional setup would involve two transport belts feeding these components to the factory. The yelllow inserters are a bit more complicated and require three inputs: Note: The strange bend at the finished product forces the finished Transport Belt to use the right side of the lane. Don’t forget to close some of the storage space or you will end up with 25*50 transport belts! That way some of your output will be stored in this chest. Want to save up a few hundred of transport belts for personal use? If so then I recommend constructing another inserter with a chest. Gear wheels will be automatically supplied by the first factory. Again we will take iron plates from the main line. Set the second factory to produce transport belts. In order to do that it will take iron from the main line. However here comes the twist: Instead of outputting the gear wheels to another transport belt you insert them directly into the second factory. The first factory will construct Gear wheels. Now simply build two factories next to the line of Iron plates. Transport belt = Iron Gear wheel (iron plate) + Iron plate Main lineīecause all our items are constructed from Iron plates we only need a single main line with iron plates.
