bro those overhangs are not properly engineered they need supports!!

Hey Matt, quick tip about splitting resources evenly if you'd like: you have to do "layers" of splitters first, and only connect the consumers from the last "layer". For example, if you need to fuel 8 burners, split the fuel 2 ways (layer 1), then put a 2-way splitter on each output (layer 2, we have 4 outputs now), and one more time, 2-way split each output - and we gonna have 8 output conveyors you can plug into burners, and they will deliver fuel evenly. Ofc you can also do it 3-ways - then only 2 layers will already give you 9 outputs. And you can combine 2-way and 3-way layers as well. Yeah, for some numbers of consumers, there will be slight imbalances, but... better than the kick in the balls :D Hope that helps! P.S. Absolutely loving these neat series ^___^

RCE: "Let's just disconnect these machines from power, they don't need to be running at the moment." RCE a few eps later: "Wait, why are none of these machines powered?! They're not even connected to the grid!" Loving the growing factory!! And I am unbelievably happy that the bio-burners are now semi automated!! Next automation is the loading of the space elevator... ;)

For your biomass burners, the way you're feeding them is fine. You've basically got a manifold set up. As long as there is enough biofuel being produced to feed all of the burners, it will eventually all even itself out. The key thing with splitters is they split things evenly until an output gets clogged, then it splits things evenly among the unclogged outputs. With your setup, the first biomass burner will eventually get full, and the line feeding it will get saturated. That will "clog" the output on the splitter, meaning more biofuel will get sent down to the next row of burners. Once the next row of machines fills up, their belts will get saturated, and the next splitter will send all of the overflow even further down the line. Assuming you're feeding in exactly the right amount of biofuel for the number of burners you have, eventually, all but the last row of burners will be totally saturated, and the last row will get exactly the amount it needs to keep running. If you've got more than you need, then the last row will also fill up. If you've got less than you need, then the last row will never run at 100%, but the earlier rows will.

why dont just build a new coal plant at the lake up there.. no need to bring this to base
