I cut the outpost down to match output rates, there's no way to scale the other map up to 234K/min because crafting speed 11 vs 12 and 54 smelters vs 57 per lane, although I think you could squeeze another two lanes in for almost no penalty, all the miner-only beacons look useless to me.

Results on my machine ^

Results gathered using: https://github.com/mulark/factorio_benc ... _script.sh Just change the pattern to match each persons respective map.

It does seem to be somewhat more efficient, though I wonder what percentage of that is due to trains/locomotives versus things like the blueprint.

[quyxkh]

It's absolutely the trains thing, the extra 1/12 swing per plate introduced by the outpost buffers (or avoided in DaveMcW's outposts) is a large fraction of the total production cost.

But I think that's the point of tbterra's requirement: more-efficient production that requires a more expensive delivery setup is just shoving costs around, not eliminating them, so production + delivery cost is the figure of merit. What the buffered outposts lose in production efficiency they more than regain in the simpler (usable, even), more efficient delivery they allow.

[mulark]

I was wondering how belts compared now in .16 so I made a little test.

Not too bad i'd say.
