in-game build time for copper cable 0.5 seconds.. with a level 2 assembler, that's .67 seconds. In order for you to go 1:1 with an electronic circuit factory, you'd need to apply at least 50% speed. That's 2 Speed 2's @30% each That brings the speed of the L2 assembler to 1.2, or .41 seconds cyeecle...

The worst timings issue I have is with copper cabling in a level 2 assembler or better in an simple direct Cable-to-Circuit setup. There's always a processing delay because the inserters can't keep it stocked on copper before it's processed. 2.4 per second doesn't seem to keep up with a level 2 fac...

Don't get me wrong.. bots are useful, especially replacing ME as the central logistic feature. Loading/unloading isn't hard. For a 'Twelve Loader' you want on each side, a row of fast arms, a row of smart chests/requestors, a row of smart arms, a gap, and that supplied by a pyramid of splitters (3-2...

Bots are.. dumb. They'll move things to provider chests fine, but if you, say, get a massive influx of Plates and it chokes their common storage, you'll eventually choke the unloading area, and then choke off the train. Perpetually building more storage is just a symptom of the problem.. you're pull...

1. Belts are evil. Oh you coy minx, Transport belt. Promising simplicity; an easy, comfortable lifestyle, and deliver nothing but stress and inefficiency along your little moving arrows. I've routed you, ridden you, split you, and made tunnels for you. I've learned better now, knowing you so well. ...
