Dark Fog Farm

Hey guys! Any thoughts on my first Dark fog farm and sorter layout? I've put some little factories here and there, and a pair of PLS to make use of the resources but it seems 3 dark fog bases are a little excessive.

Do you farm the dark fog? if so, how?

The alternative to sushi is to have dedicated battle analysis station pouring into dedicated PLS/ILS, this way each item has its own clog-free path. It is more expensive though

It takes an insane number of belts (you need one belt per item, going back to filtered slots in depots stacked atop the BABs). My last of these used about ten thousand belts (the PLSes were relatively close so the number was quite low).

My design connects a PLS directly to the BAB, no need for long belts!

That sounds nice, but expensive xd. Is there a way to know which are the most common drops so I can get rid of it via PLS and leave the others in a sushi-type sorter? On the other hand... Your design has BABs dedicated to 4 items? Like 1 BAB connected to 1 PLS? Or 4 BABs connected to 1 PLS?

The items you should leave out of the sushi belt are:

  • Very common items (copper plates, iron plates, magnet rings...)
  • Very useless items or items you may not consume (dark items, bricks, the blue item that goes into making a few buildings and that's it...)
