I like using a branching system for labs and I send to them the exact amount of research bottles that a given project needs so that there's no waste.

I have gotten to green bottles on a new base, but I'm having serious iron problems. My production isn't high enough, and I need steel to import iron from a nearby vein using trains, but my furnaces are locked in by stuff on all sides, so idk what to do right now. I guess I could conveyor-belt some coal all the way from the bigass coal vein.

E: I figured out how splitters work and improved the situation by a small amount.

Don't be afraid of super long conveyer belts. Having that iron deposit right in the middle of your base is cramping your growth pretty bad. Also, rather than having all your smelters drop iron on the same track, break a couple off to do a specific task. For instnace have 3 smelters that put iron on a conveyer to be fed into a steel smelter.

Just relocate your iron smelting and triple how many you have. Belt it all in. Problem solved.

I might actually start over and isolate my iron smelting from the rest of my base so I can expand it more easily. I have no idea of how to deal with enemies, though.

One thing I recommend is using separate belts for ore and fuel. You'll have to use long-handed inserters to make it work, but it will double the throughput of the ore.

Waste is no longer a thing anyway if I remember the .12 notes, science is used in percentages until the pack is used up. Then it picks up a second one.

Why the one piece of belt leading from the furnace to the plate output? That takes up 2 extra lanes without getting anything in return.

Thats to allow for upgrading to more advanced furnaces later on in the game.

Electric furnaces, presumably. They take up more space, don't need fuel, eat up power.

and can accept those modifier circuit - modifying electric furnaces and drill all at -80% power consumption is soo easy on resources and help in the mid-game where producing solars is still expensive.
