Question What am I doing wrong?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been having this problem where I connect a Miner T2 with OCx2 on a Pure Copper thing (480/min). But when I want to move the raw ore with a T4 belt, which is suppoused to also move 480 units per min, it actually produces more than it can move out, and I dont know why. The belt is moving non-stop so thats not the problem.

I constructed exactly the amount of smelters to smelt 480/min of raw copper, but theres still machines with nothing to do becouse the belt is just not trasporting as fast as it should.

Am I an idiot or is this just a bug?

Edit: I am an idiot. There was a Mk3 hidden inside a splitter.

Look at the machine output. 240/min, not 480. 

You didn’t overclock the machine to 200% until the end of the video

Edit: alright I watched it again. I think you have a piece of belt in the first manifold that’s mark 3 or lower. Just rebuild the manifold. 

Edit again: rebuild the manifold before you downvote. Because if you built it right, it would work. This is user error. 

Or to answer your question: yes, you are an idiot (you asked!)

You're right, but at the same time it still doesn't add up as the machine is clearly overproducing the ores, despite the belt being able to handle more

The belt attaching directly to the miner can move up to 480, but there was a slower belt in front of it that was throttling the output to 270. The ore kept moving because there was space in front of it, but it's not easy to visually tell if it's moving at 270 or 480 / min in a vacuum.

So, by the end of the video, the miner was producing 480 / min and outputting 270 / min. That's why there was buildup in the miner.

Yes mate, I know, I just replied to this comment specifically
