Re: Belt compression in 0.16
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2018 6:40 pm
Did some testing.
Put in the standard 6-6 belt balancer (who made these things? they are awesome
).
- Full output capacity: full balanced unload.
- Reduced output capacity: when the backup reaches the inserters, unloading chests 1,3,5,7,9,11 continues, 2,4,6,8,10,12 stop until the uneven chests are empty, or full output is reached. Output per half is still balanced.
I wondered if it was possible to keep all chests balanced.
Came up with this. Upper station contraption balances all chests, and delivers full compression when needed.
Downsides:
- 2 tiles wider per station side
- more expensive
- damn ugly
So very Factorio
Tested with creative mode mod in 16.25
