there's multiple things going on here

[loud wraith]

Gear production

[untold wadi]

this is fine

[loud wraith]

""issue""

perhaps its an issue because Im not using much gears anywhere else

[untold wadi]

blue lane has priority over the red

but this is not an issue

[loud wraith]

how do i counter this, it happens a lot

[untold wadi]

you'd need to be pulling from both lanes equally

[loud wraith]

but it seems impossible phisically to both be put evenly in this position lol

on the left here is an input balanced lane balancer

[loud wraith]

position of items in belts does not matter to be taken, just to be dropped, right?

in a situation like this it can matter, cause next time you pull you get 0.5 belt despite the bus having 0.5 x 4 belts of iron

but if you only have one belt of something, then it doesn't matter at all

[loud wraith]

wowww

[untold wadi]

the input balance works backwards and keeps the bus balanced

[loud wraith]

wow thats real crazy.

im slowly getting used to balancing stuff

[untold wadi]

yeah. but the thing is that what really matters is just placing a lot of machines down

[loud wraith]

im just worried that further on the future i mess up some production because of this things

[untold wadi]

you can't really mess up unless the w key falls off

cause you can just hold down the w key for 10 seconds, then you ahve space to place more buildings

building more > redoing builds > restarting

the player character is way more likely to destroy buildings than biters

thank you so much man
