That's the way I had it set up originally, but the single gear assembler wasn't quite keeping up with both. Oh, your problem there is inserters. You need a fast inserter feeding iron plates into gears. O.o Hmmmm. Just went back and redid it with one gear assembler. I could have sworn I'd tried it w...

In the green science setup, you can run transport belts and inserters off one gear assembler. ;) Blue science is actually the hardest part, after that everything is about making your life easier. If you just want to finish the game, collect 300 alien artifacts and head for the rocket silo. You'll p...

Hey, guys. I got this game a while back, and watched a few videos, figured a few things out on my own, and I think I finally have a set up that gets up to blue science in a fairly orderly way. I'm absolutely convinced that there are better ways to do what I've got here, and I'll definitely be workin...

3-3 (though blue assemblers) keeps up with 10 labs, so i imagine your setup could pull 20 labs. I appreciate the info. Thanks for replying! Really nice setup honestly, especially cfor only playing for like a week! As for the gear wheel problem, personally I prefer to have 2 gear assemblers, one jus...

My opinion is : 10 labs is enough if you don't want to speedrush research. I have never been able to keep up with setting my factory up fast enough to make full use of my research when I research too fast (always found blue science packs to be a pain in the a**). Don't forget that for a 5-6 red-gre...

Howdy folks. I've been playing Factorio for about a week now, and I definitely have the "Just one more thing before I quit" syndrome. Loving the game so far. I've watched a couple of "how-to" videos and figured a few things out on my own, but I've got a couple of questions I'm ho...
