If you can see i had to turn off the steel smelting because my iron ore isn't going in fast enough. also where the two red arrows are isn't getting the iron ore fast enough either how can i fix this i tried red belts but it's also too slow?

the problem is that all of your iron ore is going through one lane of a yellow belt here. that is 7.5 ore per second which is only enough for 12 furnaces. in the short term you can upgrade that little stretch of belts to fast_transport_belt , which should help a bit

#

if you want to make more steel or iron, make a whole separate smelter line with its own ore supply instead of stealing ore from your other iron smelters

You would be better running an additional line from your mines, otherwise you're still limited to the single belt of ore

or create a seperate line some how from the same iron ore location?
