Right so... this is driving me INSANE, I have been trying for several hours (possibly days) to build a nice looking expandable circuit build for bobs circuits. Mainly Basic Electronic Boards (the blue ones) and the electronic circuit boards (white ones)

I'm starting to think that theirs no way to make these come off the bus and look nice while still being expandable.

I'm not even trying to mess with the logic boards yet but i'd LOVE to see someone make a nice looking expandable logic board build.

Any help is appriciated.

also, should I be bussing solder plate? seems silly in my opinion as i'm already bussing tin and lead.

Thanks much.

eep sorry, forgot to head here. thanks for the move.


another question for anyone that doesn't mind throwing me the answer. What is the ratio for solder factories, like idk how much solder plate to produce to match the solder factory :/

I've got a single machine making solder plates feeding to one machine making solder and it's feeding 6 t2 circuits, 5 t3 and 5 t4. It's such an obtuse ratio but produced so fast that I'd just whack one down and if you run out put in another.

The setup I've got isn't exactly ideal and not really expandable... Lots of spaghetti. Once all the ore patches run out and I'm importing everything I'll probably tear it down and redesign it but it's my first play through so currently don't have any solutions yet ^^ Only thing I can suggest is adopting a partial bus approach and just make everything in rows, either send it down the bus or directly in to the next row. It will be tidy but not particularly space efficient, that's what expandable means in this sense =P

I usually bus solder plate from my smelting are to a row of assemblers off my bus (early) then going further down the line the solder takes over the line where the plate would keep going.

The Chests show what is supposed to be on the input belts. I use angels, therefore the cubes are the symbol for carbon.
This is what I use for BEB: This is the build I use for ECB:
