) setup, which is at least during the initial U235 build-up phase quite helpful. I have tried to apply most of the circuit network concepts in order to learn them and also mostly avoided looking up solutions online.The key concepts:
- Stack size and up to two filters are set dynamically on inserters; the stack size is adjusted to the item of which there are the fewest requested by a centrifuge.
- The number of sections (N) containing M centrifuges each is determined automatically; thus, when adding new sections after the current last section, no manual editing of any values is required.
- The amounts of U235/U238 required to satisfy the demand for all centrifuges in the cycle is determined automatically.
- Only as many centrifuges are activated as can be operated with the available amounts of U235/U238; this is made possible by the fact that each centrifuge is assigned its own index (also see (2)).
- U235 ends up in the provider chest only after enough U235 is available to operate all centrifuges. The requester chest requires a continuous supply of U238 and initially at least enough U235 to operate a single centrifuge.
- When adding new sections at the bottom, always copy two adjacent sections containing 8 centrifuges in total. Then overlap the upper section of the ghost with the current bottom section and paste it. This way the many cables running between sections are inserted automatically.
I hope that at least some of you find this blueprint and my descriptions useful. If you have any comments, have spotted an error or have suggestions for improvements, please, feel free to post a reply.
