Mindustry Schematics 1 | Multi-Press Graphite Maker

Hey! Val here. This video is about a multi-press schematic I found. I thought it would be a good opportunity to explain some stuff about junctions, overflow gates, and conveyors (bridges). Hope you enjoy.
Also, here's the link to the schematic: www.mindustrys...

"You fugly chunk of engineering" ngl caught me off guard 😂

[@zaglezigawa8415]

Lol Same, and him explaining how the conveyors are lined up too! He's gotten a sub.

Is it really "modular"? The combination of an overflow gate and a junction is widely called as "Zipper" and is one of the simplest/least effective logistic strats in the game. The zipper's throughput is limited by the speed of a singular titanium/plast conveyor which is really, really slow. This multi-press setup will be more "modular" if you were outputting graphite from the top and inputting second lane of coal from the conveyor which is used for outputting graphite now.

[@Valerian138]

Modular? yes. As efficient as can be? No. When I first show this schematic's modularity (?) in the video, you can see that I try to set up from the top. It would be better. I don't know why it doesn't already. Maybe to have a smaller footprint?

[@vladzodchey]

@@Valerian138 well, the reason I was so sceptical about modularity is that the press itself guzzles almost half of the belt - you can't even put three in a row with a one-belt setup. The footprint of this design is not so efficient too - the "snake" of piping you used to consume free space inside the design is shady, that space actually could be used to insert a second lane, or could be removed completely and with small modification of feeding belts could save 1 row in height of the design.

Awesome, finally someone who explains how things work 👍

[@Valerian138]

Thanks! I hope to be doing this series for a good bit so I'm glad you're enjoying it! :D

[@jiggly821]

You'd be better off with a schematic that takes distributer of coal and uses 3 multi-presses, since one titanium belt of coal can only support 2,5 multi-presses making this modular is not as attractive

[@Valerian138]

Yeah. I think it turned out to be a good video but the schematic itself was lacking. I'll try to look for better ones next time

0:31 it's my scheme of reactor XD
I can prove it.
АУР - Автономный,Умный Реактор (engl: Autonomous, smart reactor)

[@dllord]

But I didn’t understand why it was inserted into the video

[@Valerian138]

I put it in there half as showing how complex some schematics can get and half as foreshadowing for a Mindustry Schematics video later down the line.
