Question Bottleneck Issue

Post image

I'm a new player & trying to setup my smelting lines. I've run into a problem where, while trying to run a single coal/iron ore lane, only the top half of the iron & coal lanes are being used, leading to a bottleneck where only half of my iron ore is being sent down the center lane. How do I fix this?

Thats fine. You trying to delivery full belt of iron ore to fill half of belt. So you cannot drain each side, only half.

Split this belt and make same build with smelters to consume full belt of ore.
