In this video i show a way you can double your blue belt throughput of any given item, something that might be useful for people using Main Bus or a belt based base in general. How is that possible you ask? By using every single different belt type in the same lane and underground belts! A yellow + red belt = blue belt throuput wise therefore you double it! While it is possible to use yellow - red - blue and repeat as a pattern i use yellow - red - yellow - red - blue simply because it is cheaper, actually it is even cheaper than using only blue belts as well!
Besides a central high throughput belt i demonstrate even in cases such as iron - copper smelter how this concept can turn useful. 2 lanes of electric furnaces output 3 lanes of fully compressed blue belts of copper plates, 8.100 per minute specifically! I only used blue and red belts since it was way easier in this case. A deep understanding of the above was needed to make it happen though, so i suggest for people who find it complicated to just copy paste the blueprint and call it a day :-p.
Overall benefits:
Higher single lane throuput (2xblue belt)
Cheaper than 2x blue belts
Occupies less space
Disadvantages:
It's complicated.
It needs a constant input of materials for the throuput of the output to be constant. Otherwise it will flunctuate between 1 and 2 blue belts until the slowest yellow belts play catch up to the rest.
