Red Circuit 2.4k/m

Post by drizzle »

Here's a late game red circuit setup with beacons producing 2.4k/m with 32 assemblers. I learned alot making this hopefully you find it interesting. All red circuit assemblers run continuously and unfortunately they only produce ~41 circuits per second not enough to compress a blue belt. To fully compress a blue belt 4 more red circuit assemblers would be needed and .2 more copper cable assemblers.

Hi,

I got a assembly pretty near from yours, i share you my version to see if we can take good in both (for example, all y your factory got stack inserter, not necessary for that recipe, i use fast inserter and even a yellow inserter for output ^^)

It should be add in the game: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=67650 :)

Very nice setup! I haven't built at that large of a scale yet. Good point I guess using stack inserters everywhere is overkill :D Looking at your build gave me the idea to put more beacons on the right side to get the extra cable production needed to compress a blue belt without adding more assemblers. Here's a build that fully compresses a blue belt and doesn't use only stack inserters

I like what you've done, nice design. Like i said in another post, give something, you get something better in return. ty :)

Like with the green circuit build in the other thread this is also something where tiny details are important to actually achieve the theoretical numbers

I've found that having one continuous copper wire belt is bad. That way cables move constantly, which means sometimes the circuit assemblers will miss one (even if you are overproducing on paper). If you stop the belt after one half it allows the cables to back up a bit, so the inserters get more of them. That moves the numbers closer to the theoretical output of 1200/min for 16 assemblers

that's what i was tryin to make in my bp, 1 copper for 8 red circuit. it gives the belt saturation you lookin for to make easy the inserter grab and the perfect fluidity for assemblies if it's what you expect. you should take a look on both to improve it as always :D
