![]() (It is easy to incorrectly place a line of beacons, where each building only receives 3 effects)Īs the factory developments, the bus can be expanded to incorporate more production. Be careful when placing beacons, to ensure they are transmitting the maximum effect to as many structures as possible. ![]() Remember, one chemical plant or assembler can at most benefit from 4 beacons in a straight line. This further boosts production and enables beacons to be used more efficiently. Production designs for plastic/sulphur/batteries that are “beacon friendly”, can future proof the site and make expansion easier at a later stage.įor the inserters going into plastic and battery assemblers, a substation can be placed within the output belt (using underground belts), to provide electricity, freeing up the entire outside line for beacons. A relatively small oil refinery, that is spaced correctly with beacons, can output a vast amount of product. Beacons, with the use of modules, can significantly boost production. It is also useful to leave space within the oil refining area for the inclusion of beacons, that can be built at a later time once the technology has been researched. This increases efficiency and keeps the bus belts as full as possible. Likewise, when producing steel, do not use iron off the bus, use a direct source from the furnaces/train station. It is also a good idea when producing plastic, not to use the coal on the bus, but instead use a direct source eg from a coal miner/unload train station. An oil refinery will also need a water supply and plenty of space for the production of plastic, sulphur and batteries.
