Compact Sand to Silicon (v5)

Bad ratios in v6

Input a little less than a full belt of sand, get a little less than half a belt of silicon out.
Takes just under 400 energy/s, or 7 large solar panels

Adding an additional water extractor will not increase productivity.

Additional Information gathered:

Overall, it uses
90 power to silicon smelters
60 /s to water
Up to 180/s to oil, or averaging 156/s for the drill
Up to 90/s to coal centrifuges, averaging 67.5 e/s
(75% of max productivity, or 4.5current prod/6max prod)

Totaling an average of 373.5 energy/s, without including what you need for drilling sand.

At most, this setup will take in 10item/s (titanium belt speed)
0.6/s goes to oil drill
3 silicon uses 9/s, leaving 0.4/s spare

1 oil drill needs up to -9 water a second
1 water extractor gives +7.8 water/s
7.8/9 = 86.6666%~
86.666%~ of 15 oil/s is 12oil/s

3 Silicon also needs 4.5 coal/s
4.5 coal = 2.7*4.5 or 12.15 oil/s

Despite the minor deficit, I see each silicon smelter full of coal, so I'm not too sure if I got the math on that certain, since I'm not sure on how its getting all of that coal.
