Glad to see your take on the game. You should set the priority on the splitters in each ore chain, either star all the through ports (if you need to feed something else downstream like the silicon feeds the smart concrete which is silicon starved) or star all the refinery input ports if you want the first refineries in the line to be the most frequently used. The reason is because a starred port on a splitter will send everything down that port unless it is full but if there are no stars on the splitters then each port get the items 1 after the next( unless there are multiple items on the belt then the splitter can't remember who had the last of each item and thus ends up acting like a starred splitter). The unstarred splitter in a series will then give the first refinery 50%, 25% the next, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.125%,... etc so there will be product in the refineries at the end of the line awaiting a full load that may rarely come, but if you star the through port then the last will get it all until the belt backs up then the 2nd to last( etc) with no product in a perpetual holding pattern at one end of the refinery chain. The refinery capacity and belting you have set up you have could do well with upgrading the multi-regolith to level 1( 90 items input, so you could also upgrade the multi's input belts to if you want). 20% ratio of a 60 item input is 12 items out *4 is 48, belt not full when "ores are balanced", but 20% of a 90 item out is 18 *4 makes 72 now the belt may need upgrading at lest up to the first few splits but at lest the belt should stay full. A few notes: For balancing, you need a slag to silicon ratio of 4:1 for the smart concrete and so a "perfect regolith richness" ratio of 20% for each ore and slag would not be best, you want an extra part silicon relative to the other ores, so 20% slag, 25% silicon, and the other 55% divided evenly among the last 3( or ~16.6%). Plus I expect you will want to add back at least those 2 smart concrete factories you removed to keep the slag converting. You'll need to split your Ti plates into 2 outputs, the 2nd output going to the presses the other being stored as is. I think you'll want a few more Al refineries once your ratios get better balanced.
I actually did set priority to the silicon exactly as you suggested I guess I just cut that part out of the video (or maybe its coming in the next video.. I cant remember!) Great Idea on the multi reg upgrade and belt upgrades I might have to do this now that I have found some new ore veins to extract from! The problem with the slag is to keep up with the demand of even 2 of the smart factories I'll need upgraded belts, I imagine to keep up with 3 I will need T3 belts and to keep up with 4 I will need T4 belts...?
Pro tip: all output resources can go on single belt with splitters and auto-sorting storage at the end. In this way you will save at least half of raw resources in storages and be able to place all factories from basic to advanced up stream along the belt.
Glad to see you play this and see your channel grow, I found you with Sixty Four, what a weirdly addictive game, happy to see you graduate to The Crust!? Maybe we’ll see you try Captain of Industry for Update 3 early 2025!?!
It’s in my library right now! Just haven’t found the time to give it a go. Apparently it’s very hard.. 😅 kind of intimidating! Thankyou so much for your support!
Someone commented that it’s random how big they are. Somewhere between 1-3 will fit (although I’ve not seen 3 myself). The ones I have were tricky to get 2 on it definitely took some fiddling

No pressure, best content is always what the creator enjoys and feels confident about!
4:00 how the F did you FLIP?? wtf, I've been trying to find out why they didn't have a flip this WHOLE time..
I’m pretty sure it’s “F”. Whatever it is, I saw it on the screen near the bottom.
I think its "T" for flip.. not sure why that letter and not "F" lol
Ya you’re right it’s “T”
Thank you. Y'all are right, it was on the screen. Dunno how I missed that. 😉
most of the time you will get at least two miners on the veins. If you are lucky you will get 3 and unlucky it is 1.
Big unlucky sadge..
@Zahait I know the feeling. If it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all lol.
@nogardgaming7447 😂😂
Need to fix your belt for steel for the components
How did you get 2 miners per node, only one fits on mine/

You buy the drones in the market, very far down in the list
