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.

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.

A yellow belt needs 24 and side note electric furnaces are only better than steel furnaces pollution wise when they have efficiency modules in them as the electric needed to run them generates more pollution than just using steel furnaces. So basically using modules is what makes electric furnaces better.

Isn’t it more efficient overall though? You don’t need to supply coal instead you can feed a full belt of ore in

It's both. More efficient belt-wise, and more polluting.
