Thanks! I hadn't realized there is only 6 per belt instead of the normal 8. Now I have to go and redesign all over again..... lol.

Update: I was able input coal bringing it to a 4 input base: 1) Input Iron Ore 2) Input Copper Ore 3) Input Plastics 4) Input Coal and boost to a 14 output base so far: 1) Iron Plate 2) Iron Bar 3) Copper Plate 4) Copper Wire 5) Green Circuits 6) Red Circuits 7) Speed Module 8) Productivity Module 9...

My first base share. Designed a base that only requires 3 inputs (Iron Ore, Copper Ore, and Plastic) but outputs 9 different items (Iron Plate, Iron Bar, Copper Plate, Copper Wire, Green Circuits, Red Circuits, Speed Module, Productivity Module, and Efficiency Module) in a pretty small foot print. I...

Any reason I cannot build a station on a straight section of track traveling diagonally?

So for a loop does the loop have to be one direction only? I was trying to setup so from any given station the train could go either way. How do I post the save?

I'm trying to setup two trains on a loop with a couple of stops and cannot figure it out. Heres a pic: .

I have signals at each branch but both trains keep saying no path.

When grabbing everything I can, what should I prioritize for establishing the new base besides electricity?

Couldn't resist the John Lennon reference.

I've decided to scrap the mess I've made and start over, but not from scratch. I'm using construction / logistic bots to delete/ remove everything. Any advice on starting over / organization ?

Yeah, noticed that after I posted. Is there a way to see which chest something is located in?

In the meantime, is there a way to easily / quickly link all the storage chests I have strewn everywhere? Can I run logistics wire to each chest and then to the nearest roboport?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around logistics. What I am looking for is a simple tutorial on how to control the number of items on a belt. For example, I have a full belt of red circuits feeding a loop that feeds my blue circuit assemblers. This same loop is used to off load the finished product...

Thanks everyone! I had this thought this morning, that I needed to replace all my passive chests with active provider chests. Still new to the game.

Honestly my goal is simply to clean up where the heck I've stored all my resources at. I've got them spread out in storage boxes throughout the map in different locations and at times its easier to run to the nearest roboport than to craft all that I need at the moment.

But will the worker bots stash a particular item in that box or does it have to be a requester box?

Is there a way to place a bunch of crates to use as a central supply station and then have my construction / logistics robots to place all items of a selected resource into that crate or several crates?
