My Cargo landing pad setup

Post by Tomatenmark »

Here is my easy to use landing pad. Just pick an output lane and add the item you want to the constant combinator above it. Will not overfow and work really fast outputing a stacked green belt in it`s best case scenario.
I haven`t looked into the automatically requesting them from other planets but maybe thats possible with interrrupts?

Suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.

I suggest you flip it vertically. The "output hatch" of the hub is in the top-left corner so flying up is more efficient than flying down. Also, the combinators are inflating precious flight distance so it could be worthwhile to pack them in the current roboport space, or flip the whole combinator-chest-belt complex.

I took your advice to heart an flipped it, moved the circuits out of the way, moved the cargo pad a bit into the loaders and added one more row to make flighttime shorter.
Theoretically you could remove one row of inserters on each loader lane to fit one more lane for max flight time reduction and space efficiency but then you wouldnt get a full belt output but that shouldnt matter because the limit is more likely the space platforms. I added a picture of a incomplete design at the bottom. Thoughts on this version?

At a closer look, your stuff don't seem legendary? (Deduced from substation distance) Well that would be a great optimization since two legendary stack inserters would fill a green belt. And legendary substations have wider coverage so you need less of them. Legendary roboports and bots are almost must-haves when you start needing bots to unload stuff. Not to mention legendary landing pad has really good radar coverage.

Thats true. To be honest I dont have any quality production set up yet :lol:
Also Im not the biggest fan on using Quality since it kind of feels like cheating.

Also this is the current setup I have in my World.
