Factorio green circuit layout full#

Weird.)Д¤0% extra bonus production for the four P3's means for every ten cycles you get 14 outputs, and copper cable produces 2 cable/output.

In case someone is curious, what I am trying to create is a near perfect ratio, efficient, compact and tileable setup that produces 4 belts of GC per set.ДЄnd yes, I admit I am not very good about Factorio math (I am quite good at math in general but something about doing math for a game just makes my brain go on strike. From there it is just a matter of general efficiency since each GC costs less in resources due the productivity modules and in less time due to the speed modules in the beacons. By removing that extra half copper cable assembler you also reduce the iron to copper belt ratio so that you now need one belt of each.

So, instead of 1.5 cable assemblers for each GC assembler, you need approx 1 (1.071 if you are nitpicky, but close enough). The 4 Production modules reduce the Green Chip copper cable requirement by 40%. Great 'duuuuh' moment that removed my mental block. clearly points to a gap in my understanding.Д¬an someone please explain the gap in my understanding? To my shock I noticed that every single beaconed design uses a 1-1 wire/GC assembler ratio instead of the 3/2 I expected.ДЄ few such designs can be attributed to sub-par approaches, but every single one. Sounds good right? Well, before doing a beaconed design of my own I went to review other people's designs to get layout ideas. Adding production modules to the assemblers and speed modules on beacons reduces iron/copper cost and improves productivity. Feed it 1 belt of Iron, 1.5 belts of copper and you will produce 2 belts of Green Circuits. Repeat enough times to saturate your output belts. Use 3 copper wire assemblers for every 2 GC assemblers, to get a proper ratio. I thought I understood it and even designed my own. Speed beacons are incredibly powerful at this stage because T3 prod modules are incredibly expensive en masse and a few T3 speed beacons can eliminate the need for a lot of productivity modules.Green circuits production (especially non-beaconed) is very well covered in tutorials and blueprints. You could extend your build to meet that ratio, but most would just round it off to 1:1 since that allows more speed beacons.

Putting full productivity modules into your green circuit build leaves you wanting a 15:14 ratio. Once you hit the very late game you start to appreciate the power of productivity modules. An exception to this is very early game where a single L1 assembler on copper cables perfectly feeds a single L2 assembler on circuits. Your layout does have more circuit assemblers than the copper wire assemblers can support.ДЇor the game up until you go full modules you want a 3:2 ratio of copper cable assemblers to green circuit assemblers. 'Optimal' depends on what you're optimizing for, which I assume is just correct ratios (not, for example, throughput per tile).
