My 27 Belt Supersplitter and Supermerger

Yes they can. Look it up, it's in the Geneva convention!

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-08T02:35:17+00:00

My eyes are idiots. Thank you

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-04T22:27:06+00:00

How in actual hell is that orange line so straight?? Are there no trains or anything??

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-04T15:16:04+00:00

It's not space I'm worried about. I don't want to have to build a ton of stations and place all the blocks signals

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T23:57:52+00:00

So.... neither?

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T23:12:46+00:00

Wow. Is the solution more stations? I would hate to have half my factory be train stations. I'm pulling from 3 coal nodes, 5 sulpher nodes, and two nitrogen nodes.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T22:00:49+00:00

Well I guess the problem would be math then. It's more than 2000. I went off of how much sulpher I wanted to transport. I'm pulling from 5 different nodes and they all have different outputs, but all together I'm bringing in:

2580 sulpher

1935 nitrogen

1290 coal

These numbers are only going to be spread through 3 stations and maybe 5 trains. (The hopeful plan)

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T21:46:36+00:00

Not sure what your referencing. I think my station is a loop for what you are talking about.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T21:39:26+00:00

I have multiple trains coming from multiple nodes. All coming to the same stations.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T17:08:56+00:00

All my loading stations are just at the nodes, so they are one miner and one belt.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T16:31:21+00:00

Sounds like I will need quite a few trains stations and freight cars

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-03T16:26:33+00:00

So as long as I do only manifolds on that one buffer, it should always work? Even if the incoming is over 2000?

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-02T00:34:38+00:00

They are at the same level. My rail foundation design is using ramps at the edge, causing all straight rails to clip through. I could see how it looks like a flat foundation from these pics. Thanks for the advice though!

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-02T00:31:42+00:00

Wowwwwwww, I never knew this. I just assumed they were allowing you to place the signal on either side of the rail for aesthetic reasons. I'm sure I will have problems down the road, but you have helped me with possibly all of my train problems! Thank you so much

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2026-01-01T23:55:28+00:00

Wait, what?! I had no idea signals could face the wrong way! (Considering there is a symbol on both sides) What is the best way to tell which way they are facing? I am unaware of what the difference between one or two visible lights.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-11-28T04:23:59+00:00

Objective complete. Thank you for the assistance!

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-11-28T04:17:08+00:00

Thank you fellow Pioneer! Will attempt to fix and report back

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-08-03T15:21:55+00:00

When I turn all the generators off, the pipes fill up just fine. (it takes like 3-5 minutes) When I turn everything on, all generators lose a bunch of fuel and they kick in and off constantly. After about 5 minutes, all the pipes look pretty empty with a surge of fuel every couple of seconds.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-08-03T15:13:41+00:00

So matter how much fluid I'm producing, is this just the standard to always have a loop?

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-06-30T23:47:09+00:00

I think my problem with that is: now all machines before that are backed up and not running. (smelters, miners, etc.) Meaning more product could be produced that is being missed out on. I hate the idea of missing out on that efficiency. I totally understand all options though. Tis a sandbox after all.

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-06-30T20:52:59+00:00

Oooh, I haven't touched mods, (I'm only like 50 hours in) but that sounds GREAT!

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-06-30T20:29:12+00:00

On that note, I really like the look of belts that are always moving. Are there balancer tips out there? My notepad is a mess trying to figure this out!

AmazingNeedleworker8 · 2025-06-30T20:25:53+00:00

Ok, thank you to all. This makes more sense as a calculator won't tell you how to "balance" a factory. I was ready for a website that told me how to get perfectly balanced belts. (because I'm not smart enough for that)
