electric motor

[Desker]

I am having a big bottle neck here. The problem isnt the materials needed, but the rate of production. I took the blueprint from DSP blueprints for 14kmin electric motor and im only generating 3600/min. I see that the gears arent making it to the machines in the back. only the first couple assemblers are working while 75% of them just idle.

How can I increase production based off that blue print?

Best answer: make your own factory. Using other people's blueprints in factory-builders is like using cheat codes only there isn't even a plot to justify skipping gameplay. (Note, that I specificially said _use_. It's totally okay to look at them to inspire your own creativity.)

Second best answer: 25% ratio most likely points to the fact that you don't have belt stacking upgrades and your setup effectively only gets quarter of components it needs. You have three options: (1) research respective upgrades, (2) make creative use of pilers in blueprint, (3) remove all non-working parts of the blueprint and copy-paste the rest three more times.

I did. I used partial of the print and made it to do 3600/min

I ma unfamiliar with belt stacking. I use an piler for end of products.

It's a white cube level upgrade that allows your ILS/PLS/miners output to be stacked automatically, without use of pilers. Blueprint that you used probably assumed that you have it (because the game actually starts when you have all tech). That's why only first 25% of assemblers got what they need - the belt was carrying 4 times less iron than expected.

Your input lines will need to be stacked as well as your output lines. Easiest way to do this is just to Input directly from a logistics station, as those will automatically increase output belt stack size to match your current max tech, which in this case, is a max stack per section of belt of 4, as most likely, your input belts are only default x1 stacked.



[Edit: LorDC pretty much said the same thing, only beat me to it :-p ]

I didnt know that
Thanks. I was avoiding that white research. However, I am currently doing it now.
