Absolut beginner - how to autofill energy?
How to auto fill a drill or furnace running on coal with coal drills output?
Re: Absolut beginner - how to autofill energy?
I'm not sure what exactly you mean.
If you want to automate the fuel filling of drills or furnaces, all you need is an inserter and a source with coal (or other fuel), which could be a chest or a belt.

And one more: Ot there a way to split a belt in two?
Re: Absolut beginner - how to autofill energy?
Any side is good, maybe your inserter is not facing the right direction? Can you post a screenshot? You can rotate the inserter if you hover the cursor over it, and press 'r'. To make sure it is facing the correct direction, press 'alt'.

Many thanks for helping a bloody beginner.
The game is very addictive even I'm not a 'gamer'
My only problem is the MacBook I use is not capable to mimic with the trackpad the left/right mouse clicks.
Any hint?

Strongly suggest buying a mouse. Games like factorio work so much better that way.
