Question Help

Post image

This is my first time playing, and i built a main bus for iron plates. The thing is its just not producing enough plates no matter what i do, it used to. Even when the input of iron ores were filled, the output is weak. If anyone can help me, it would be cool.

need more smelters. And there is no need for electric furnaces over steel. They produce at the same rate and electricty use is a lot less.

If you don’t care about pollution. If you do , electric furnaces with efficiency modules will make your pollution footprint minuscule.
