it doesnt work right. when inserting coal on the left it comes out with the silicon on the right]

This is helpful as itself and as something to learn from.
I found out how bridges and sorters work, it's quite cool.

nice

8-smelter doesn't fully work for me. The leftmost bridge conveyor stays disconnected as seen in picture, so 4 smelters on the right don't work. if i connect the conveyor the 4 smelters on the left disconnect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I used your 8-smelter design early on a lot. It was really helpful. Now I use my own crucible design for campaign since it's a bit more compact, doesn't rely on slow unloaders, and has multiple input direction options. Still keep the basic smelter design for early parts of custom maps though.

Your schematics are top tier. Love them. I would love to also see sorters marking the input for coal and sand. You used to have conveyors, now it takes extra time to figure out what input goes where.

i came

It is so useful!

This is an amazing schematic. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for explanation with arrows.

As a noob, It is hard to understand those compact designs...

Brilliant use of sorter.

@Cake Clay, you can chain them together just placing them one after another. When placed each block has a 'direction' there can be multiple input blocks and only one output block.
Each block block has 3 in/outputs. the one that doesn't work is the one which has the bridge.
the outputs work just like a router (they divide by the number of outputs). So if you want to bridge somewhere to output and bridge somewhere els you have to do something like what is shown on the left, with the top block not bridging to the one under it.

how do you make the bridge on birdge?

seen people do it for things like scrap smelters but i can't quite know how the inputs work connected to each other.

Works very well. Took me a minute or so to figure out the inputs/outputs the first time in game, but after that no problems at all.
