Compact (?) 40/s Green Circuits with Prod. Modules

Post by Killkrog »

Here is my belt based solution to create a compressed blue belt of Electronic Circuits.
I use productivity modules 3 in this setup.
It creates 40/s Electronic Circuits out of 28.571/s Iron Plates and 30.612/s Copper Plates.
Any thoughts? Improvements?

Cheers =)

That's awesome!! So compact!

Would you explain why you have two fast inserters and one stack inserter going from the copper wire into the green circuit assembler? I can't figure out the reason for this? As opposed to all the same kind?

Your belts take up a lot of space making it less space efficient than it could be.
I've been using this setup since 0.13 gave us stack inserter.

DaveMcW has posted an optimal setup here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30332&start=10#p192129

It uses underground belt weaving cheese (sadly), but otherwise it's pretty close to optimal as far as I can tell.

I use this build from BlakeMW.

It doesn't output exactly a blue belt, but you can toss in another partially beaconed EC factory on the end to cap it out for express.

I think his build aims for compactness, so it doesn't have as much inserter coverage as yours, so it uses bots to move copper cable short range.

Hey mates..

After doing a bit factorio math I came up with this thing here. The screen shot shows a bot delivery configuration - though, but it is easily adjustable to be belt feeded. Just route the iron through the top green circuit line and feed the copper from the bottom. I use this setup in a column so multiple of this beside each other.

The numbers:
coper cable:
speed: 9.625 and 20% productivity
item/min: 2772 = (9.625 * 2 * 1.2 * 60)/0.5

electronic circuit:
speed: 8 and 40% productivity
item/min: 1344 = (8 * 1.4 * 60)/0.5
needed coper cable: 2880 = (8 * 60 * 3)/0.5

copper cable difference: -108/min or -1.8/sec - If you can live with this offset the shown setup is quite good
For the output you get 1/2 of a blue belt so 2 of these can provide a complete compressed blue belt

The inserters are placed with max stack bonus - and can deliver the needed material (not sure if +2 stack bonus would be enough - never tested this)

I don't think there is "the" solution for anything in factorio, sometimes you need something different and its nice to have a library of solutions.

Take Care
