Please tell me if my ratios are wrong.

Belts vs cargo bays

Wiki says to use belts vice cargo bays as buffers, due to stack size = 1.

Am I correct that even a stack inserter can't put stacks of asteroids on belts, right? They're just 1 at a time, no matter what, right?!?

A cargo bay is 4x4. The most chunks you can put on 4x4 of belt is 16, but even a common cargo bay holds 20, whereas a [not all that] rare holds 32, 2x the belt amount. (ACK: both lanes on the belt is 32.) Legendary brings it up to 50!

Is there additional context?

A single unstacked belt tile can hold 8 items: 4 on each lane. So a 4x4 tile of belts can hold 64. Still more than a legendary cargo bay. Alfonse (talk) 17:53, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
