I always try to do belt bases, as I prefer them. Gleba is damn near impossible. I tried to at the start but the spoilage and nutrients are just too much to handle for me. Bots to the rescue!

    Na, use direct insert, with belts feeding. Hardest part was the egg handling, ill post screenshot of my science when I get home

        Not to be pedantic but thats a displayshot and not a screenshot. ;)

        Anyways your setup is much much nicer than the pile of spaghet I left on gleba to be overrun by stompers.

        A few things to note:

        • spoilage inserters should always be placed on the same belt as the last inserter that needs it. It prevents situations where the spoilage inserters still have fresh items while the machine inserter has spoilage
        • heating towers are better at egg disposal. You can even get some electricity back!
        • it’s better to have centralised nutriment production for your factory block. A bioflux to nutriment biolab could easily power both sides with less wastes

          First one: haven’t happened yet, but good idea, I’ll adjust for that.

          Second one: I would then need to run heat pipes as well, the idea behind this build was to drop and forget. Only time it breaks is if the power stops working for whatever reason (usually I’m the reason)

          Third one goes back to second one, as I am producing more them enough science off one farm of each plant type, I don’t really care about any lost efficiency. Just simplicity without bots. When I end up rebuilding, ill build something more inline with ratios.
