You need to fully shift the belt side if you're inputting from a single side. I tended to run into this problem with my smelters overloading on a single side. This is easily fixed with a side fee that becomes the main line (or just making a new line altogether) If using the minimal wasted power pol...

The one thing I'd really like to have but can't find is a dependency tree. I saw something like what you're looking for here on the forum once. It's late now, but I'll look it up one of those next few days. Maybe check the "show your creations" forum, if you wanna look for yourself (shoul...
