So what's the question that makes sense to ask of nuclear power vs the boiler alternative regarding raw resource consumption vs start up cost? Obviously different forms of power and modules modify the raw resource cost somewhat, but this is an easy default. I am assuming no modules and solar power/handcrafting (so no ongoing electric raw resource cost) to keep it simpler. Extra raw resource consumption means more pollution, with boilers just adding an extra 66 and 2/3 pollution s/m per 4 MJ. I will mainly be focusing on the less raw resources as it is more consistently something you worry about and pollution production is basically a function of that. However, the second 2 things are efficiency that you have to pay for with upfront costs. In roughly the same space you can put 3 "36 MW 20 boiler/ 40 steam engine" power plants, you can put a single 480 MW 2 by 2 reactor set-up with heat exchangers and steam turbines. The first reason is just true of nuclear power. (Raw resources being copper/iron/coal ore) Low pollution per MJ (no pollution for processing fuel cells, and less mining per MJ of power produced.) Hey everyone, I got to thinking, people use nuclear power (energy/time) for 3 efficiency based reasons.

Why do labs grab passing red beakers but almost never grab a passing green? Are reds special in some way? Is the differing rate of supply between the colors the determining factor? submitted by /u/FiveAtMost When the backlog "gets to the front door", the lab needing a green then takes one. Labs at the north end take both, but both red and green are filling the belt toward the south. Labs in the middle pretty much take red only (red production is several times more than green) and let green sail by even though they need them. Also, I'm just feeding off one belt with one inserter per lab, which I now know is sub-optimal.īut my question is this: My labs run N-S, and the first 2-3 labs farther south do take both colors and research with them. I have read a lot of posts about the efficient way to load labs, and I did daisy-chain too many. A minor personal triumph as I did not leave enough space to really maneuver. Just did my first red-green combined belt to load a string of labs.
