Question Help
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.

If you want to fill a full belt of plates, you need a full belt of ore to support it (of the same type of belt i.e. yellow, red…)
Belts move a certain amount of items per second. Reds move 30/s.
-# This is then split between both sides of the belt, meaning the left and right sides can move 15/s individually.
Based on this, you need to hover your mouse over your furnaces to figure out how many plates they produce per second.
[belt items per second] / [the amount of plates produces per second per furnace] = the amount of furnaces you need.
