Overview
This build collection is comprised of late game belt based designs. All the builds have been thoroughly calculated and tested to ensure maximum efficiency and throughput while also not wasting space or sacrificing aesthetics.
Introduction
Builds Blueprint Book[pastebin.com]
- remaining science builds
- belt based train loading/unloading
- kovarex and uranium processing
- some circuit designs
- make a prototype and find out the optimal machine speed
- calculate how many machines are needed to achieve the desired output
- calculate the speed again using the rounded number of machines
- calculate the input
I mostly focus on making my builds as efficient as possible but also compact and good looking.
- using robots instead of belts
- using long handed inserters
- inserting directly into underground belts
- belt weaving/braiding
Explanation:
I like the extra layer of complexity using belts and no long hand inserters(these are most of the time too slow for beaconed builds). Belt weaving/braiding doesn’t make sense and it shouldn’t work but I don’t mind other people using it. You can achieve full belt compression by inserting into underground belts but it looks wired, I just use sideloading instead (where it’s possible).

Iron/Copper Plate Build – Big
5 belts of ores in 6 belts of plates out.
It’s in essence six “Iron/Copper Plate Build” builds with a built in belt balancer.
