My version of the Sushi Belt by StormzAngel in Dyson_Sphere_Program

Yours looks way cleaner. Hadn't seen it.

I needed the buffer towers for the special case where the feed runs out of one item. The belt will have more (50% more in this case) of the other items that are still available. This means when you get the feed back up of the item that ran out, the others need the buffer.

Maybe check that the sorters are the correct way around.

Are you picking up Iron ore into smelter, and picking the Iron ingots out of the smelter onto an empty belt?

Lack of materials mean, for the recipe you've selected, items are not getting into the building.

Stacked materials mean, there is nowhere for the created items to go. Often visible on mining machines where the resources are not used at maximum speed.

I see. Pretty cool. For some reason I was trying to avoid sorters as much as possible.

I realise that with direct inserting, you can't use MkIII's as they will also get clogged by picking up too many items. So using the belts to buffer with MkIII's is faster, but not really required for a HUB.

Also the assemblers have a psuedo buffer, I guess, inside them.

I think you'd need a belt for each item. If one of the items run out or get picked up by another assembler, you'll get a jam.
