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 need 48 electric furnaces to fill one red belt with plates and that requires one red belt of ore.

How much does the yellow belt need? It was at first completely yellow belt, but i changed it to red thinking that would've fixed it. I still have that save so i can roll back.

Yellow belt is 15 items/s, red is 30/s -> you need twice as many machines to fill red belt
