UPS optimized Ore->Red Science 2700 spm

Intro - Let direct insertion fight with the full beacon setup
- I did some to work on the simplest science pack sub-base: Red Science / Automation
- the UPS impact is almost zero on a megabase (smallest science pack), but for a UPS opt exercise & to move to the bigger packs was a big fun
- I share my results here just for fun, maybe some will find it interesting / challenging :D
- conditions are as usual: produce a full blue belt, benchmark it as x100, max UPS is the success crieria nothing else
- Note: I add this to the combinator sub-forum as I plan to add timing as a final step, don't want to be offtopic in belt only topic..
Belter v0.5 (lame)
- to embarass myslef I share here my old red science base
- very bad, but fully beaconed :) It has some legacy back to the red belt era even
- chopped down to 2700 spm (was desigend for 3000 spm)
- to improve: a lot, see next
Belter v0.54
- I've optimized v0.5 as I was able to (made it modular, cut many inserters, merged two ore belt to one 2 lane belt, compressed beacons...)
- calc: here
- to improve: the only thing left is timing

BelterDI v1.0
- This is my DI attempt. Turned out this is almost the same as the one shown in this video
- calc: here
- to improve: the only thing left is timing. I might add it later

Results
- happy to see the v0.5 -> v0.54 major improvement in UPS
- the +11% on top of v.0.54 for DI is impressive also
- savegames attached

TY - I've learned from the best you know it!

BelterDI v1.0.1
The electric network time increase bothered me, so I've optimized the poles. It got +0%..2% UPS depending on the measurement, but not at the electricity time, but rather at entity update and transport lines?? This is beyond me / margin of error.

Poles have zero impact on electric network... but aesthetics is important too so good job!

Here is a more compact version, I'm not sure what that does to UPS.

For me it’s here off topic. It’s a difference if make something or if I measure something.

I let you choose:Should I move it?

Let's continue this with full editor mode to allow whatever DI...
