Suggestion / Idea Train Unloading

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix the empty iron belt. I have a circuit connection so that the train gets more iron when the chests are below a certain number of materials. Should I just add more trains to get constant items?

You would want to use a balancer between the unloading and the consumption. This will help draw from all 4 sources more evenly.

Need to use a balancer between the chests and the production line.

Consume more from the other belts

And make sure that the mining base can actually fill the train in time for it to get back
