You can totally avoid placing items on conveyor by making all production wagon - to wagon. Here is an example of RGB circuits production facility. You have to deliver copper plates (smelted on mine as advised here https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=8&t=6802 ), metal plates (same) and plastics.
It produces greens, uses them to make reds and blues with a leftover of greens and reds.
And yes, all inserters reach the wagon even if it seems that they don’t (the top and bottom ones should be facing from factory to wagon or else they won't reach)

Very nice I really like this idea +1
Re: Cargo wagon sourced RGB circuits production facility
After RGBs are done I unload them by train to modules production wagon. Lvls 1 are placed back in the wagon and used for lvl2s in same cluster.

Re: Cargo wagon sourced RGB circuits production facility
i've done something like this before with fast inserters on the long end of the wagon to transfer items distance fast, im not sure if it was faster though at 4/5 items a transfer via 2 fast inserters.
When i stream twitch i always answer questions and try to help, come visit me.

At the top it actually has 2 fast inserters + 2 long inserters.OBAMA MCLAMA wrote:i've done something like this before with fast inserters on the long end of the wagon to transfer items distance fast, im not sure if it was faster though at 4/5 items a transfer via 2 fast inserters.
