Introducing a vertical circular bus - A giant O of belts and lifters fully connected allowing for input / output anywhere along the bus.

Pros :

  • Modular, you can build anywhere on the vertical bus stack
  • Limits spaghetti by providing a clear and easy to access API for all players.
  • Very fast to reach all parts of the factory since everything is very concentrated into a cube of productivity.

Cons :

  • Satisfactory netcode doesn't like SUPER dense areas, so it could become problematic for multiplayer.
  • There is no priority mergers yet in Satisfactory, so if you want to prioritize a input to the bus you downgrade the belts/lifters feeding INTO the priority input, that way the belt will back up and the priority input will provide the bulk of the material.

It is a thing of beauty. Thanks for the description and pictures. Any chance you can share the blueprints?
