I am looking for a 10k + ore a minute furnace, relatively simple and tileable . Space doesnt matter much, but wouldnt mind having beacons for energy reduction...

It would be massively useful to do an unload function from a container, but it should not be used to load per se, other than say a rail car (hopper idea) that would allow for very fast loading into boxes/warehouses at railyards, but inserters to complete the other work.

iirc Fast Transport Belt will compress at 48 (half that with speed modules) furnaces. You can feed this with Iron/coal but I really feel like at your volume it would simplify the problem to go electric. You said you are pushing 2500 Green Circuits/Min and 600 Red/Min Feeding this alone requires som...

i have seen smelters with beacons, but no standardized " good" ones. What kind of throughput would we be talking about?

I am currently looking for an update to the old fashioned linear furnace, as my factory needs to grow. I am currently working at 2.5k green / min and 600 red /min and need to increase my copper and iron output tremendously. As well is the main bus topology still the best means of high output , or sh...
