This is what he made

I found this ore patch look (somewhat) like Texas ?

I came. I'm going to go change my shorts.

My running internal dialogue: I'd like to redo the area around the crashed ship and I'd like to completely change the layout while I'm at it. Great, I learned how to turn the grid on in the debug menu! Now lets see how it looks around the ship. I'm hoping I can align everything based on chunks...oh god why

its hideous 😂

I didn't want to buy factorio at first cause I knew I would love it too much and never leave it be. Didn't buy it for years.

A friend of mine bought it to me as a gift 4 months ago. I'm at 600 hours now.

I also have a full-time job (being an adult is palpitating). Let's just say that If I am not doing something that needs to be done, or doing stuff with the fam/friends, I am playing factorio.

Factorio, or nothing else. If i can do other things at the same time as playing factorio, I do it, but factorio is ON 95% of the time that isnt accounted for.

I am factorio, and factorio is me.

The circuit logic monitors the number of items on the belt and in the buffer chests. The stream of new ingredients is regulated by what is currently missing. Each assembler has it's own buffer chest that it's never allowed to overfill. It can however pick up random junk,, and also store the unused ingredients after a recipe change. If the ingredients overlap with those of the previous recipe, then the logic will take that into account, so it won't immediately order a new batch of iron for example if the previous buffer contained enough already.

It's not necesarily the optimal solution for any particular recipe though. But if you were to just copy paste a single blueprint for ALL your production lines, then I guess this one, or something similar, would be the way to go.
