You forgot one long handed inserter for the red science assembler.
Yes. I noticed while I was editing it, I also forgot to save so... can't really go back and do anything about it unless I start over. I thought it was good enough for the purposes of a tutorial.

Personally I place power poles between assemblers. Pole, assembler, assembler, pole, assembler, assembler, pole, assembler, assembler, pole. Reduces the needed power poles by a factor of 2. Doesn't always work (can only power 4 inserters per assembler) but I think the saving in wood and copper is worth it at the start.

I guess that works, but then you're forced to have the space if you want it or not, while the space between inserters already exists. So the question then becomes, what's more valuable, the space, or the pole?

Indeed.

Probably the most important one for a lot of people: How to guide to Bob's adjustable inserters mod.

Oh well. I hope it was informative at least.

Nice, after a bumpy start, I think that's the way to go. Giving insight to special parts of your mod, is something, at least speaking for myself, I really like to watch.
Could even learn something from your latest inserter-video (never use the middle position for the offset, otherwise it can get stuck).
So thanks for doing the vids and have fun doing more for us.

Something I didn't say, put a sideways tilt on it for pretty much any reason, and it can actually reduce swing times, because it has that slight bit less to move. Right angle inserters even more so.
But yes, that's a pretty thorough walk through of the inserters mod, and I'm wondering where best to go from here.

That's a good one, too. Saw that in some Let's Play or so.

Maybe wait for 0.17 and after the massive updates for all your mods, then with a more free mind and all the new stuff it will be easier to guide new and also already experienced bobbers through your mods with hints and tricks.

I have played a longer burner phase before, but I usually feel that it's better to just push for electric power.

keep in mind I don't actually play the game for playing the game's sake that often. most of what I do is testing, and if I do "Play", it's usually in an old endgame save.
so, I don't recall ever reaching a point when attempting to play from the beginning where I've gone purposely for modules except for my really early vanilla games.
