Secret Third Option: barrels moved by belt
Barrels moved by individual flying logistics robots.
This is my flame turret strategy.
Bots deliver to the wall, then pipe the length of the wall.
Why not just pipe to one of the wall edges?
Barrels launched to an orbital platform, then dropped where needed
Barrels moved by train. Take it or leave it
Barrels moved by bots
Barrels moved by a burner inserter chain
You like pain dont you?
Trains. Even if it's a short -ish distance it's still usually worth it to set up the input station so it's easier to add another field later. Plus, trains are fun. Choo choo.
... In all seriousness, looks like an interesting video!
Yeah... Factorio logistics aren't very realistic.
I wonder how a pipeline compares to an express belt system.
Ok but from my really screwed up factory, I purged a giant area around the main factory. So now I need a way to defend all those areas eventually.
I think the only way that's gonna work is going to be train-to-pilpeline at some natural choke points as I start setting up an actual defense perimiter. As I don't imagine my ring of mines is actually going to do much should it come to it.
I am playing Pyanodon's and the meta is to use trains, because it's more space efficient to move a bunch of different liquids by a single rail than a ridiculous amount of parallel pipes.
