Copy blueprint string
Smelting ores into plates is one the fundamental processes in Factorio.
Factorio is a creative game, there are endless ways to build things, ways to arrange and adjust the different elements that make up a specific factories layout. The following are just some examples, with some description of what we are seeing.
Nothing here claims to be the best, most optimal, or preferred way of doing things.
Early game
Simple setup with burner inserters
This uses burner inserters to insert the coal and iron on one side, and normal inserters to take the plates out the other side.
If coal runs low, the burner inserters can run out of fuel while picking up ore, leading to the whole system stalling and requiring manual fixing.
Copy blueprint string| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Input works without electricity | Input can stall on low coal input |
| Only requires one side of electric poles | Only outputs to 1 side |
| Only uses half the belt for ore |
