Really smart layout there with the Smart inserters!
i call that a job well done!
+1 for you sir!

Realy good idea man, thank you!

Don't forget about ungerground belts.
Belts can be partially burried, allowing power poles to be moved in the re-claimed land.

PS: Hmmm.. burrying belts under the resources feels odd.

Now do it for 3 resources!

(I h̶a̶v̶e had a deposit with coal, iron, and copper, all meeting at a point. I ended up just giving up and putting it all on the same belt then separating using smart inserters pulling off of a loop. Works until/unless you get a resource backed up.)

Isn't that just that one point that has all three at once?

Also: This setup will also back up if the buffer chest gets filled.
The setup will kinda-work even without the buffer chests, but it would back-up the miners too easily.

This is what i did the other day with ColonelWill: http://puu.sh/dfP3S/8d24fe2edb.jpg

How common are mines covering multiple resource? my little experiences is that resources are quite sped out

and although i though DaveMcW system looked cool it seems to me doing the sorting out side the resources field like OBAMA MCLAMA has done is probably better as i think it could be ezaly set up for 3 or more difference resources

cant wait to fine prpobles like this i will need to fix

Dave, im interested in what you have going to the west of your mining pocket, How are you (if you are) merging/splitting off the ore and coal?

Technically correct but kind of cheating: P

dave was just using the mechanics as they are and it works though the golden rule would likely apply to this
