Expandable copper smelting (can be upgraded to electric furnaces later), optimized for beacons and (almost)blue belts. max is 54(missing 2) furnaces, but you can add extra with beacons. ~snip~ At the bottom is a 4 lane belt balancer. That's quite a nice furnace layout. I hadn't considered a single ...

On the topic of belts, here's something I came up with that I suppose there's a chance someone else might be interested in. While it is somewhat large and unwieldy due to the extra bits of track needed to cause side-loading, it is smaller than the first two versions I tried. The purpose is to accep...

My understanding is the 1/3 and the full lane are split to 2. So it shouldn't be a choke point by the splitter.

Eugh, thats what I get for going online while half asleep. It's meant to be on the other side.

Here is how I split one third of the items of a belt. 3-way-splitting-annotation.png This back-feeding probably allows more odd proportions. But don't use splitters too much. Overproduce! Backed up belts are better for sanity than distributing scarcity. Thats quite a smooth split. Not sure how much...

Probably a bit of a silly question, where are the links for the updated versions?

Edit: Nevermind, I keep forgetting that this is just a thread in the subforum for RSO. Found the version.

2 Questions.
Why don't you take an in-game screenshot? easier to see.
What program do you use for that?

I like your design on allowing the trains to pull out of the station and onto the correct side of the double tracks. I will definitely be stealing this for my base. It's because of the double train engines right? This is my 4-way intersection with Driving on the left. http://puu.sh/i6QBs/24afb54ec0....

Also why not use "Copper" and "Iron" instead of CU and FE. Not everyone knows or wants to use the Symbols.

Somewhat of a dead thread, but...I'm trying to get Straight World to work with Resource Spawner Overhaul with mixed success. The mod-dev from RSO has said there is a big issue with the World Generator for Straight World and won't add support until it's fixed. I also looked into integration of Straig...

New version is up - I upped Nickel a bit for bob's ores and fixed the starting area issue. I also looked into integration of Straight World mod - it could be used with RSO if it's a part of it. I found also quite serious issue with Straight World mod itself - it makes map generator work constantly ...

Hi there, I'm loving this mod :) It's forcing me to learn a lot more about train management than I usually would have (Lots and lots of belts :D) But I've also got a mod called Straight World https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7191 (For the OCD inclined) and its messing with ...
