Introduction
Builds Blueprint Book[pastebin.com]
Coming soon™ remaining science builds
belt based train loading/unloading
kovarex and uranium processing
some circuit designsHow I start a new build make a prototype and find out the optimal machine speed
calculate how many machines are needed to achieve the desired output
calculate the speed again using the rounded number of machines
calculate the input I mostly focus on making my builds as efficient as possible but also compact and good looking.
I don't like using robots instead of belts
using long handed inserters
inserting directly into underground belts
belt weaving/braidingExplanation:
I like the extra layer of complexity using belts and no long hand inserters(these are most of the time too slow for beaconed builds). Belt weaving/braiding doesn't make sense and it shouldn't work but I don't mind other people using it. You can achieve full belt compression by inserting into underground belts but it looks wired, I just use sideloading instead (where it's possible).
