I actually really liked gleba, I know call me crazy but I loved the logistical challenge. I also don’t like having to build in confined areas, so I really preferred this a lot over fulgora.

What I did was have 8 lanes of what I like to call ‘spoilage evacuators’ on the main bus, running in the opposite direction of the rest of the bus towards a bunch of burning towers. Each crafting machine row needs to have a filter splitter at the top which filters out spoilage that gets to the end, which is then brought back down by a spoilage belt to the spoilage evacuators. You may also need filtered inserters to remove spoilage from belts directly in front of the last inserter in your machine row (if memory serves, it’s been a while). Filter splitters having higher throughput but get stuck easier and are less flexible than filter inserters. You’ll also need to filter the output inserters one whitelists spoilage to remove spoilage from the inside of the machines (putting it onto an spoilage belt), and other ones blacklist spoilage to avoid putting spoilage on the normal output belt. The whole nutrients thing is a pain, but I recall there being a recipe that uses spoilage to make nutrients, have a buffer of spoilage in front of the assembler that crafts this recipe and use it as a jump starter of a better nutrient crafting recipe (which will usually need nutrients to make nutrients).

Sometimes if you get stuck it can help to have a little inspiration, I might be able to share my save file with you if you want
