Compact boiler design

[indjev99]

I was playing around on my new save file and discovered that you can put inserters between boilers, so you can have a long chain of boilers without having to mess around with running a line of coal to each of them.
P.S. I am not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I haven't seen anyone use it.

Nice find! There some people who know about this trick and do actually use it, but I don't think it's common knowledge. Pretty neat trick actually, and works quite well to save space for sure. Wish more people did know about it.

yes it is out there, the peaple that use it with Long handed inserter useing 14/10, with the 14 Boiler lineed up.
there is one bug with this low. if you do a long line of them going rigth to left wen/if run out of Fuel. all the Fuel gos to the rigth so you lost Steam engine lines one at a time and you may not see till all fule is gone.
runing fule lines to all the boilers there is a lot more fule to see so more like to see befor you run out.
