... would it be worth it to replace belts in the ore outposts with robots collecting from the miners? Currently i have belt systems there that bring all the ore to the corresponding train stations. Thanks for all the input. Robots could help for short distances. Belts, especially blue ones are not ...

I recommend this blog of american physics professor Tom Murphy. It contains lots and lots of calculations about solar and other forms of energy (pretty much every form we know) and multiple forms of energy storage (from pumped air through water reservoirs to lead-acid batteries)

Try using more trains and less belts, it should help if you use a lot of belts

Then pick up 20 normal inserters, or disable this functionality in options ;) - making inserters is quick and out of scope of this feature. This is useful for high end stuff especially in concert with drones delivering for example circuit boards, which I would wish were immediately consumed by the ...

I would much rather see inserters on the edge unload at the same speed as those in the middle

I've just had the most brilliant idea (in my mind it looks so :D ) - what if conveyor belts were damaged/destroyed after it transported 5000 items. It is high enough to not pose problem at starting phase of the game, but annoying enough in later stages. Thus trains get another advantage. Also fast b...

It's strange: every let's play I saw in the last two month didn't know, that poles can be placed while running, like belts... It's not obvious(like most things in this game :p) I only found this recently. I assumed that if I tried to place poles while running it would put them next to each other. I...
