Far better to make these locally as needed. Copper Cables: While they are high in demand for green circuits, they are used in almost nothing else.When you find yourself needing an extra component that is used for very few items, (like stone, stone bricks, or coal), either run a line to the side of the main bus, ending it at the assemblers, or carry the materials in via robots & requester chests.Place Concrete or Stone Brick under a couple lanes of your bus & in one of the spaces between lanes (at a minimum) since it gives you a speed boost when running.Add more production to fill your belts with intermediate products: Copper & Iron Plate, Steel, Green Circuits, etc.When you get robots, you can easily extend the bus with blueprints.You can replace splitters and undergrounds similarly by just placing upgraded versions on top of the old, (without the need to deconstruct them). The easiest way to upgrade belts is simply run along the line, holding down the mouse button to place belts on top of existing ones.(I normally skip red belts and go straight to blue to save myself the annoyance of replacing the bus 2 times). ![]() Upgrade belts when more throughput is needed.Make sure to re-balance belts after you split from them.Done! Two science packs made efficiently and traveling together on the same belt!.For the belt furthest from the assembler, split off green circuits.Place inserters as per screenshot - only inserters need long-arms.Place 2 rows of belts along the gear, inserter, and belt assemblers, and place the snaking belt that leads to the Green Science assemblers as per screenshot below.Place these one tile away from the Red Science output belt. Place Assemblers: 1 crafting Iron Gear Wheels, 1 each for belts and assemblers, then 8-10 for Green Science.Green Science needs belts and inserters to craft. Neatness matters! Make sure the empty side is across from the inserter! (As shown). For the belt close to the assembler, split off half a lane of iron plates.For the belt furthest from the assembler, split off copper plates.Place a regular inserter and a long armed inserter to feed each Science assembler. ![]()
