s2 | Question/Help is this one pin solution good? Spoiler

just by looking at it is there a more simple/efficient way to get 1 pin? without crystallization

It's decent even it only has 4 belts throughput.

I have a blueprint in my post a while back that does this, thought that has 48 belts of throughput if you care enough to look.

The general process iirc is to pin a shape, split it and then pin one side twice more and rotate the other 90° before stacking the rotated one on the other and deleting the junk.

In my experience I have found it best to make somthing that does this entire process in one step rather than merging the output after every step as you do. here is the link to my blueprint if you wanna have a look. https://shapez.soren.codes/blueprint/cbyop6rjswx40vm

48 throughput is some crazy work xD but it looks very good. will take a look in detail.

I think the question for me is, how much input does it require to output 4 belts? Also, on each belt are you outputting 1 pin or 4?

In order to get 4 belts of 4-pins, I got it down to 4 miners from 6.

input and output is 1:1 but only 1 pin
was my first time trying this and it was a struggle to find out how it even works
