I have found the basic idea of the design somewhere and then refined it. Fills 2 belts without gaps. Chests are added due to not big enough buffer in the speeded up machines and long pickup times of stack inserters. http://i.imgur.com/XLCBKC1.png 0eNq1XNtu4zgM/Rc/JwtRd/VXBoNFkgodYxPHsJ3BFEX/fZ1eg1Z2...

In my opinion placing by hand is huge PITA. I'm approaching ~2 GW by now (or is it 3? I don't know) and I would never have laid that out with personal roboport...

Since .15 you can just click on the map and place a map marker

In the endgame, beacons or lasers.

So far, no (as far as I know). Also, there is "import blueprint" button. so double no

Why would you make "2.0" game if 1.0 isn't in beta yet?

Just found a box with 2k chain signals. Noting more to say...

It does stil persist in .15.19 (current version).

It sounds very much like the linked post is connected to this one. For additional info I can turn the compiz on back without any problem (in fact I do).

You want "spoiler=" named spoiler tag.

Bots are supposed to be dumb so that they require some thinking to use and don't replace trains and belts completely. As long as you're using them properly (networks over small areas, convex networks etc), they behave just fine.

Nice! Let me quote my own post from a while ago (I've built simillar setup, but a tiny bit more compact): Below there are pictures of unit stacked from _two_ 2x4 setup tiles. To pipe water to more than 2 units you need some fiddling with underground pipes and moving turbines further away, but it's e...

Honestly, those ideas are terrible and overcomplicated. If you feel like it, PacifyerGrey linked to a good topic to read.

For me LLCCCC on 2-spaced rails (4 tiles between them), one lane in each direction. You coud add LCC (for smaller networks).

Or... 16-wide belt arrays if you wanna have FUN.

What if you add prod3 everywhere?

Nope. But it's very convinient to build stuff chunk-aligned, then if you leave X chunks of free space you're sure that your stuff will fit.

After some testing, there are certain problems with your intersections. If train is taking turn on the T one, train in the other direction can't take same path (it's blocked) even though their paths don't intersect.. Becouse of that, the throughput is often poor. Are you able to fix it?

Try checking for yourself, I have posted the blueprints:)

Not at all.

Mine? Tested about an hour.
