Re: Perfect Chest/train loader

I see you have some seemingly pointless squiggles inside your balances, as well as some unconnected underground belts betwixt the wagons. Is there a reason for this? Are you just trying to fill space? The belts between inserters and 1 to 1 balancer are needed for buffering items. The unconected und...

Balanced belt/lane/chest Unloading Station System

https://i.imgur.com/m2FGT21.jpg How it works: inserters take items from the wagons only if there's enough space to completely unload all the wagons. Inserter's stack size are set to 10, so all of them pick the same ammount of items when the wagon is almost empty. Moreover, they work synchronized us...
