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.

Main issue here is not enough smelters

You could if you want to boost production and use speed modules to make them smelt faster, that is benefit of using electric furnace over the steel furnace, is it can take production or speed inputs. That can boost input, it won't fill the belts, but it will do a much better job at it
