0.16.11 Bad Belt Compression WorkAround > Blue Compressed!
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 7:23 pm
After Fiddling a bit with setups and different layouts, I have made me a smelter setup that will fully load a blue belt and appears not to have any compression issues. It is not the most compact setup, but I'm sure that's not a real issue, after all, the map is limitless 
It boils down merging with splitters to a point where saturation occurs and then the belt backing up will compress. As long as Iron Ore is abundant and all furnaces supplied, I have had no issues having a blue belt fully compressed. It's also modular, just connect more lanes through matching up the outer beacons. Take care. (PS, the erroneous inserter on the top row is removed from the blueprint 
)
