We're getting some sort of complaint from the encased beam floor.

Maybe I should have checked the flight path...

I have the same issue. Saw it in time luckily so I built up a bit. It flies right under my platform now. Loud af when it passes by.

Just open a window, it’ll find its own way out

What’s the efficiency like on the last 8 assemblers?

Not OP but I use a similar design. Assuming you design for about the right level of input the efficiency will be 100% across all the assemblers. The problem is that the system has a long "ramp-up" time when first activated during which efficiency is low.

I did something similar for steel pipes but half the constructors are starving at the end of the line due to splitter balance. Pain in the ass. Game needs 1 to 2, 1 to 4 etc inline balancers. Oh well, will rearchitect it 😀
Edit - steel not iron

That's one of the flaws with this design. If you build for too much input (say you build for 240 m^-1 but you only actually put in 180 m^-1) then the assemblers at the end fight for the resources and you lose efficiency. On the plus side it's very tidy and compact which I find more important, and assuming you have space, it's easily extensible if your technology improves.

As long as your total consumption matches your total input for a connected system, and you aren't bottlenecking anything via lower level belts, it will balance itself.

I mean, you don't have to use all the slots on a splitter. It just means you need to have 1 input go to 2 outputs and have each of those go into splitters with 2 outputs each. Is that what you're talking about?

Using a combination of splitters and conveyor belt speed restrictions might help you there ;)

Not great, but I was designing for Mk4 belts and I only have Mk3 belts now.

Lol

I detect a massive efficiency loss using beams over steel pipes.
I don't have that alt recipe yet. I'll change over when I get it.
That's ok, steel is plentiful
but beams take longer..
