  • Good points, its highly tailored to my environment its true.

    No easy replacement for the assembler. You need to move everything if you want to put an electromagnetic lab

    not modular. Low quality assembly often get clogged while high quality is waiting for stuff, so you need to be able to add more low quality assemblies than high quality.

    From my perspective, it is modular, just throw up another line if you want to double the output of below, but in my quality journey, i’ve had much bigger gains through enabling all the full build quality paths then by just grinding one quality level

    No easy way to set the buffer. 4 stacks is way too generous, and you way want to lower the buffer for low qualities

    The Arithmetic combinator at the top of the blueprint on the same line as the constant combinator sets the desired stack volume in one place. For some things I want 5 stacks, some things I want 40 stacks.

    I’d love to see how your approaching the problem if you would like to share your design. I just love all the different tradeoffs and methods factorio enables.











  • Every planet has a PLANET_wants group, that’s put into the landing pad of that planet.

    There is a buffer on each planet requesting the _wants group next to the rockets.

    There are two shuttles that go through the planets clockwise and counter clockwise. They both have all the planet _wants groups

    So if a planet needs huge drillers, it gets set one time in the _wants group, and everything else just happens automatically.

    The ability to share logistics groups across devices is a really good quality of life improvement
