It has some merit by just not sorting what comes out of the recyclers, however I was never able to successfully use sushi belts. I tried multiple times, but sooner or later they all did congest or get out of balance and were not able to recover. Just wanted to show an alternative, in the ...

I appreciate the contribution, and in factorio there are many different ways to build a factory. But I'm not looking for any general solution to fulgora, instead I'm focused specifically at using a Sushi Bus.

There are islands on this current save of mine that do that strategy where they presort ...

Yeah you're right, I had changed the design to make it more aesthetically pleasing to me by moving the final compactor splitter up to join the rest. But going back to that first WIP design I am able to thin the total width down by 1 column, at the cost of making it thicker longer.

I don't know if ...

This project ran through many iterations for me. Some of my earliest versions were very simply.

I think it's a smart move to focus on the 4 lane Splitter. I've been running some frequency counters on fulgora and I typically see item densities peak at around 21% of total ...

I silently updated my original post yesterday to include a blueprint book but I've been running this design for the past few days and it's been working flawlessly. The key I've found is to compact the lanes between each filter as to allow for rejections to pass through seamlessly. Here i have a 2 ...

In the middle, there's one extra splitter not necessary to the functioning of the design here

Yeah I just threw it in case for some reason one of the lanes on one of the belts started to back up it would have the other belt to dump buffer onto. I haven't noticed that being an issue in this ...

8 Lane Scissor Filter Sushi Bus for Fulgora

Hello yall 👋

I have been spending a lot of time on fulgora in my latest playthrough, designing and redesigning factories. And I have finally come up with a design that can reasonably handle 8 full lanes of sushi goodness in a relatively compact form ...

I've been thinking that - very similar to your idea - it would be very useful to allow assemblers (and other buildings) to accept higher-quality ingredients, treating them as the lower-quality ingredients needed by the current recipe.

Something Like that would also work, I picked inserters ...

You can just filter the output inserters on your first quality machines to shove higher quality outputs into a box for later consideration.

That's not really a solution. It's kind of naive to assume that storing your excess uncommon grenades for future use will ever actually end up being useful ...

I know quality is a very talked about mechanic, and similar solutions like allowing assembly machines to accept mixed quality or buffer all qualities have been discussed. I think those both have flaws and exploits that don't make them ideal. Personally I think the core of the quality system is ...
