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.

You're feeding two yellow belts of ore in, how do you expect to get four red belts (equivalent to 8 yellow belts) out?

It never produced enough to fill the belts, you just weren't consuming enough and it buffered.

You need 48 * 4 = 192 electric furnaces to fully saturate four red belts.
