Ok, I can post the saves later today.

That result surprised me too, but I didn't want to re-run it just because it surprised me, since that's a well-known methodological bias in scientific sampling. If someone else would attempt to replicate my results and got something different I'd *love* to know.

Cool. I should really learn graphviz. Then I could generate these automatically.

I've done some benchmarks of various electronic circuit processes. I may compile some benchmarks for red and blue circuit builds in another thread at a later date. Criteria for inclusion - Produces fully compressed blue belts of electronic circuits - Productivity mk3 x 4 in all assemblers Testing pr...

Gotcha, I misunderstood about the U-turns. Thanks for the explanations!

I strongly prefer intersections that do not support lane changes and do not support U-turns. I know that will sound crazy to some folks and I don't want to derail this thread with debates about it. :D But it means I actually agree with sparr that it would be useful to be clear about this. However, t...

Agree, I would expect prod modules in the furnaces to perform better than speed. But I would love to be proven wrong about this.

Edit 3: This is strictly of aesthetic significance, but what's the reason for moving the gap between beacons on the leftmost cell of each row? It is not consistent with the beacons around the other smelters. This is needed to have a 12 beacon coverage in this compressed layout. If all beacons and s...

So, i tried to make a "proper" benchmark...

Hey, was mine improper?

Did some benchmarks vs Nilaus' masterclass BPs. 0eNrdnduSHMeRtN8F14AsT5EHvcoaTQaSQ+2Y4WQDQLb6ZXr3v6qnKZRmMrvcPfqG3ButhmJVV7hHZnRWdHz/evPzh+8PX54eP31789d/vXn85fOnr2/++j//evP18e+f3n/Y//btn18e3vz1zeO3h49v3r759P7j/t9+fni//U/f/Pvtm8dPvz7835u/xn+/Pf2XHj48/PLt6fGXd799f/r0/peHw7+e/v3T2zcPn749fnt8eP4Al//yz79...

If you want to compare designs for UPS, the best way is to build a map full of the same design (say 10k steel per minute) and run the command line UPS tool. factorio.exe --benchmark "savename.zip" --benchmark-ticks 10000 Great tip, thank you! I compared the steel bp from Nilaus' master cl...

Why include the timer mechanism inside the smelter? Is there any penalty associated with using a single clock attached to a global circuit network? Edit: The signals are inconsistent between the rows in the last version posted. Here's what I suggest: 0eNrNXF1v47YS/SuCgF7cAnJW/BQVYHEf2rc+tMC2T90gUGQm...

I tried making a 6 width version of "Hash" by Kano96, but I got a way lower score on testbench. Not sure if I screwed up the BP or if I screwed up the testing. Anyone else want to try? 0eNqtnd2OZdeRnF9F6Csb4BB7/a+lO98N4EewBwYlNYYNUC2BbI0tCHp3V0uqc053Z1Z9EaxLUWRUnFx/uTMjM//27nc//eX9n3/+8PHT...

Thanks for the videos, but I was hoping for a blueprint string? It's not obvious how this is working.

I think that having (or even risking) a less than fully compressed output belt is unacceptable for a few reasons, but others here might disagree.

You could have a three belt segment buffer after each inserter to hold the 12 items. You could also have all but the last machine clocked, then let the last machine back up and fill in the gaps: this would result in all the previous inserters emptying their hand contents quickly. Do the blueprints ...

it's best to ensure that the inserters only stay awake for as long as they need, which might mean not getting a fully compressed belt - and if it's compressed, don't add more output to it. Hm. How would you propose to achieve this while also ensuring a net gain in UPS? I'd speculate that adding mor...

Here's a version with only medium electric poles, no substations (but also no lamps, sorry lol) 0eNrdXM1u2zgQfpVCZ7kQ/8kc9hkWWOxpEQSOzaZCbUmQ5aDZwu++lI0oiUuGnJlcNj2ksS3Nn74ZD4cf86u63x39MLbdVN38qg7delhN/ephbLfz65/VjW7q6qm6Yc2prtpN3x2qm3/Che1Dt97Nl0xPg69uqnby+6quuvV+fuV3fjON7Wb17Th2642v5pu7rQ/y2KnO3n7...

I made an edit to the red chip build. Now there are only prod modules in the machines, and I deleted one red chip assembler. I think this gives good ratios though since three of these consume one blue belt of plastic and output one red belt of chips. And using prod modules in the machines seems bett...

Do you have the LHD version as well?
