so turns out barrels are the way for a make everything factory.

Basically I use these slots, 16 by 32

this is the basic factory.

how does it work?
so i only use 1 wire. wich goes to a main calculator
what i want - what i have = what i need to make (this is over simplified as i alsow use buffers)

then for each factory type i have a combinator telling me what i can make there

the number is how many steps from raw recorces it is away

the above 2 make sure i pick only the items on the red and get the one item with the lowest number.
this prevents a stall
from 1 factory in the chain i read the recepy and if it contains a fluid then unload that specific barrel.
however if there is a diferent fluid in the pipes then barrel that fluid first

this is how i go from fluid to unbarreling recepy

i do the same for barreling

i added my blueprint book.
it is not finished. but i hope someone will pick up the idea and finishes it as i am not that far into the game myself

I'm kind of curious—how does this work when the amount doesn't evenly fit in barrels? Does starting to barrel a fluid and then changing the assembler's recipe get rid of it?

How do you assemble the entire thing? Would be good to have some type of instruction..
