Belt Storage ( spoilers )

Anyone like belt weaving ? It's not the most space efficient , but it still takes more than 10 minutes for the chunks to reach the end , maybe twice as that, i thought of them as guests in rollercoaster, " this storage belt is too long", it gets boring to watch them till the end except the first time where the perception of said time is impossible anyway due to the excitation, you know , like dominoes falling, if you made a mistake at one place it will stop, and it's to do again, err i mean it's easy to debug but it's a fail x) . Designing the spagetthi was a pleasure.

( only the spaggetthi, as shown on the picture with some imperfection left by remants of turrets and things)

That is fantastic. Would you mind sharing the blueprint?

Hey thanks ! i added the blueprint of the spagetthi in the previous post but i recommend you try one yourself, it's quite fun to do, searching for space efficiency a bit and at some point when it gets annoying just finishing with some symetry or little inefficencies to make it easy and the way you like

Here's mine. It weighs in at just under 20 chunks per tile.

I would not use anything but green because of concerns about UPS deterioration due to belt splicing and since speed is critical to making SP.
For every 10 belts of promethium (600/s), there will be exactly one belt of biter egg (240/s).

My belt pattern is easily expandable.

Here is another, 25.5 chunks per tile. At 1200 tile usage in the BP (50/24). It holds 30574 chunks counting the 1 belt input and output. It does split a green into 2 reds and then merges back into a green.

It was originally smaller, but I wanted to see how well it expanded. It can be reduced or expanded vertically or horizontally.

Smaller version here at 7591 capacity / 26x14(364) = 20.85 chunks per tile.

Here is my belt storage for legendary asteroids, which feeds my main market for legendary items. The storage capacity is roughly 30k for both metallic and carbon asteroids.
