You are reight. There is potential for optimizateion.
But here I intended to shor just this trick.

Due to request I have written a better explanation.
Oo, I hope it´s better.

Ah I should write a better explanation. ... took some time, sorry. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gEooqRcZ_mg/X_ozybktp3I/AAAAAAAAAxs/YepozeplBjkpQKXJlK89EXL4v5yrGLArQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1912/setup-for-th-omni-smelter-oven.png This ist the complete setup. If you know, what is required (the OUPUT of the process)...

I use cargo wagons as intermediate buffer. The nuber of items is controlled with the filterfunction of the wagons. The production internal transport is realised by the production itself. If you need some products, you can place inserters on the upper side of the wagons to get them. https://1.bp.blog...

Perhaps I should show my factory. There is pull everywhere.

Ah sorry, that´s an incomplete sentence. All the factories I have seen organise the supply of everything with a traditional push strategy. They produce an much as possible and push it to the cunsumtion sinks. The main bus concept is a is a prime example of this. Also all this discussions about compa...

- Modular -> I agree - Extendable -> I agree - No circuits if not necessary -> no, because it is impossible to implement pull without. The reason is that nearly all setups produce overproducion. It is waste of material, energy, space and so on. And it generates more environmental pollution than is n...

I think I came up with A solution to the inserter logic. I'm pretty sure there's a much simpler solution out there. I think I can already simplify the current design by 8 combinators. But a completely new approach is needed for a more elegant solution. What do you think about this. Easy to expand s...

This an optimized version. It uses a cargo waggon. So there is no need to create a cyclic process. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lWUFtof8A9g/X_YkSOYnMYI/AAAAAAAAAw8/0n_c3gzBShIXdvuHET3vxZdfE2b2vhMrACLcBGAsYHQ/s1638/Martins-better-Kovarex-Process.png 0eNrdXWty47gRvot+JtYWARIA6Uqmak+QVE3yK7WloiTIZg1Fsvjw...

Perhaps I´m not right. I have done this calculation. The recipe of a satellite needs 9*4+5+1 = 42 Movements of a stack interter. You can use 3 parralel because the wagon in long enough. In total you need 14 moves. So one inserter needs 4 turns and 2 will need 5 -> max is 5 They have 2.31 turns per g...

I am a litte irritated.

It it not possible to use a cargo wagon like a chest?
Put it on rails without locomotive. Set filters to the desired items.
The inserters will fill the wagon correct. Then the machine consumes what is nessesary.

Thanks for the hints. I had a look on the other very different solutions. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=59892 is very big and requires much ressources. The neighbours are connected with wires. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26734 Interesting idea with all...

Oh, you are right. The Koverev is selforganising, because the chest in the cycle process contain u-235 and u-238. The machines take what they need. So no active control is nessesary. I like selforganising. Parallel to the process I take out the mixture for the fuel production. This needs the 1:19 ra...

Perhaps my very cheap design will be useful for you
