use signals in both travel directions.

In total...you want a mod.

If you want simple solutions you need to add a bypass lane(or loop) to all of your stations and potentially some central turnabouts to allow your trains better pathing opportunities.

If a chest has multiple types of items in it and an inserter pulling items from that chest stops while holding items for any reason at all it will hold that item FOREVER. This has been around quite a while and I wish it would be changed. This is why it's generally best to limit 1 item per chest for ...

Had to go prove this to myself... != 0 is broken. <= 0 works.

Is consistent with many items in the tree which require more than 1 pack of some type per cycle.

Rail Stuffs
Inserter Capacity
Advanced Oil
Cars
Grenade Damage
Combat Robot Damage
Military 3-4

and probably several I'm not thinking of.

This is intended behavior. The inserter will not wait for a full stack. Stack size is a maximum not a minimum.

If i had to guess it has to do with the shortening-lengthening they had to do to trains a while back. The problem was that inserters didn't line up well or lined up differently on N-S vs E-W track so they made the cars do a little magic act shrinking and expanding them depending on direction. https:...

Im going to load your save but off the top of my head I would say there is no room in the pipe to output steam. Steam INSIDE the heat exchanger means it cant push it out. This also means your missing power has nothing to do with your heat exchangers as you have more steam than you can use. A pump to...

Looks like maybe is missing productivity modules -3 and speed modules -3.

This is my go to. You add a balancer on the top of the output to reduce it to one lane. 1.png 0eNqdlttugzAMht/F1zAlDgHKq0zT1ENURaIBhTC1qnj3cVCnSqTD7lVFiT//OPnt3OFQ96b11gWo7mCPjeug+rxDZ89uX0//hVtroAIbzAUScPvL9BT83nVt40N6MHWAIQHrTuYKlRySzeCurW0Ixj+F4fCVgHHBBmsWAfPD7dv1l8O4spJ/0f0Y4c++GX+X5Am0TTcGNm7Ke...

Or just make it a 3 way junction

If I am not mistaken there is an option under graphics to enable or disable that info on Alt key view.

If you divide by -N and then each inserter is active on <1, then it should be impossible for it to get stuck: this would imply that every chest has more than the rounded-down average number of items, which is impossible (they can't all be above average). If you use <0 then it will get stuck when th...

Early nuclear. Skip solar.

The one cimbinator method clogged for me randomly.

u-235 is less than a 1% chance so that seems pretty possible though a bit of bad RNG. It seems daunting but it is really just a matter of processing a lot of ore. I generally kickoff 2 reactors when i start nuclear and about 6 centrifuge usually do that job pretty well. Some folks get hung up on Kov...

Make a 3 space gap between iron and steel furnaces. Run coal down the middle using only underground belt. In the gaps between underground belt use long handed inserters to transfer iron to steel. -- =long handed u = underground | = iron ore 1 -- 1 | 1 u 1 | 2 u 2 | 2 -- 2 | 3 -- 3 | 3 u 3 | 4 u 4 | ...

In short terms. It takes the Average amount of an item in all chests. If a chest is less than average it loads...It has some fail-safe so it cant get stuck at some weird (not full) number. It will eat 1.5 blue belts per 6 inserters and load every chest equally.

That's a decent layout. I've recently settled on a circuit based loading system. It's simple 1 belt in and the circuit balances the chests by average fill. It's clean and requires very little space.
