High efficiency electric smelting arrays for both red and blue belts. Useful when trying to minimize pollution output and before beacons. Does not include a roboport, but there is space in the steel arrays to place one down if desired. All arrays have a balancer that will prevent uneven smelter output even if the output line backs up to the splitter due to uneven use downstream. See my <a href="https://factorioprints.com/view/-La7ns3faPtbqyeA4hyC">Single-Line In/Out Balancer Book (link)</a> for more details on this feature.
- Red smelting array: 30 plates/second. Consumes 4.2MW. Generates 19.1 pollution/m.
- Blue smelting array: 45 plates/second. Consumes 6.3MW. Generates 28.8 pollution/m. 2 extra smelters over theoretical fill-count to smooth out belt compression.
- Single Red Steel lane. 6 steel/second. Consumes 10MW (rounded up for smoothing). Generates 38.4 pollution/m.
- Full Red Steel array. 30 steel/second. Consumes 40MW (rounded up for smoothing). Generates 191 pollution/m.
- Single Blue Steel lane. 9 steel/second. Consumes 12 MW (rounded up for smoothing). Generates 57.1 pollution/m.
- Full Blue Steel array. 45 steel/second. Consumes X MW (rounded up for smoothing). Generates Xa pollution/m.
