Simple/Tile-able/Self Feeding, Kovarex Enrichment Process

Post by Slothomatic »

This is a basic, tile-able, self feeding, enrichment processing area, that solves the problem of uranium 235/238 distribution ratios to centrifuges.
it requires 5 filter stack inserters, and a couple other inserters, red belt, and a minimum of 3 centrifuges.
It can be done without stack inserter bonuses, but works just fine with full inserter bonuses.
there is a top section blueprint
a middle (repeatable) blueprint
and a bottom section blueprint

The Uranium 238 is on a looping belt to ensure that there is always enough to go around
The Uranium 235 though, is removed from each centrifuge by 5 filter stack inserters onto belts, by doing this, it splits the 41 U-235's into 5 parts and by placing a basic inserter on the same red belt tile as one of the filter stack inserters it makes it so theres only a tiny amount of time for it to detect and react to there being resources on that tile. this, in conjunction with the slowness of the basic inserter, and the crucial factor of OVERRIDING THE STACK SIZE TO 1 ITEM. it only has time to grab 1 piece of U-235. which is then belted down to feed the next Centrifuge in line.

Sorry, but this is my first time posting on the forums, soooo idk how to post blueprint strings properly =/
