Belter OreIn v3.0 - Almost full DI - 10 Beacon setup - I've spent the most time on this setup so far, I like the honeycomb power line pattern - One iron belt was not enough, so in the middle it changes to the 2nd - No timing yet - 138 UPS for me: https://factoriobox.1au.us/map/info/dd3753ea75014317...

Belter OreIn v2.0

- Almost full DI
- 8 Beacon setup
- 2.7% over prodcution
- No timing yet
- 152 UPS for me: https://factoriobox.1au.us/result/3a273 ... e617edd91d

Belter OreIn v1.0 - My fully DI solution created from this version which is in the other thread. - 5B/6B Beacon setup - 4.1% over production in GS - No timing - 173 UPS for me: factoriobox - That's a surprise that this is the fastest from v1/2/3 Green Science UPS OreIn Editor - Belter v1.0.png

Belter OreIn v0.1 - for baseline - This is the map shown in the first post. - I digged this out from a very-very, very old savegame.. - Here just for a baseline, really bad for UPS. Zero DI, tons of unecessary inserters, splitters etc. - But it is 12B :-) - 95 FPS for me: https://factoriobox.1au.us...

Target: 100x1 full blue belt of Green Sci pack, best UPS wins - "Ore In" I have to admit working on these blueprints is more interesting and "factorio-like" than onshore setups. Also people might be able to re-use the ideas here better. Rules are same as in the UPS Optimization ...

Belter v1.0

- My first real attempt. DI only, small comstic improvements due
- No timing yet - it won't be obvious due to the 5(!)/8B setup
- 208 UPS for me: FactorioBox

Belter v0.1

- Just for reference, a 12B not-that bright solution
- Onshore smelting is from DaveMcW of course viewtopic.php?p=565564#p565564
- 117 UPS for me - FactorioBox

Target: 100x1 full blue belt of Green Science pack, best UPS wins For ppl interested in creating the ultimate UPS optimized Green Science factory, whatever it takes. Please give (attach here in the forum) a savegame producing 100 belts, region cloned from a 1 belt module. See also: UPS Optimization...

Please don't make the mid-game too painful!

PS: I have a feeling the a lot of decision was made already - and this is OK. Most of us here will buy it anyway, whatever Wube will release.

My second submission

I cannot download it, gives 404. Can you please re-upload it?

The one thing that bothered me a bit about these tests was allowing for arbitrary ore patch placement via the editor. These designs are intended for extreme late game, where everything is optimal for building a high UPS megabase I'd like to thank you for both posting this, maybe others feel the sam...

Some interesting feed / prod stack sizes and the # of required machines in case of different modding for 8 beacon setup: Tried the 9B 2SM 2PM setup (light blue, but for 9 Beacon only 13 AMs reqd / lane). UPS-wise failed (522 UPS only). The reason: had to add another iron smelter as the gears AM was...

...Would be nice to have a mod which draws signals and assembly mahcine storage graphs ...

write a mod yourself
I don't think it will be difficult: every tick to save buffers of all assembly machines to a log file

Yeah, maybe... which machines, whjch signals to monitor, feature creep :-]

Some interesting feed / prod stack sizes and the # of required machines in case of different modding for 8 beacon setup:

The top UPS versions are adding 12 plates/gears as they feed the RS machine every 2nd round only. They time themselves perfectly, basically feeding w/6 items, which is 8.4 packs due to +40% productivity. So the Red Science inserter puts 8 or 9 items on the belt. Far from optimal, but the full 12 ite...

Updated the first post with 4.2.10/11/12. On my system 4.2.2 still wins.

that is a good idea, mrvn. But this topic is about full blue belts vs partially filled blue belts. So far, partially filled belts are lighter on ups load in my tests. Yes.. but. I think the problem with tests are the U turns. For the almost full belt much-much more items slips because of the turns,...

OK there is a big difference between the saves: I have very long lines and only 200 lines / 200 U turns. Your saves have 2000 lines / 2000 U turns. So more U turns (10x) and 1.5x belts.

So partial belts with turns are the worst for UPS :-]

Hello Belter:) [...] There seems to be a difference between full belts and not-full belts, the latter being better....:) Can you check my saves and confirm/falsify? Hi! 1M belt segments, woah... For these saves I get the same results (after upgrading to 1.81..): not-full is faster. full belt: 1977....

Interesting. I'll have to run the same On the weekend I will also re-measure and update the 1st post. Tried to beat v4.2.2 and failed :mrgreen: so don't see the benefit of publishing more versions here from my side :) Still have some ideas, and for sure learned a lot again, TY! - lower the timing t...
