Just plug in all of your turbo motors, boom problem solved

Hey Max, thanks for the vid and tutorial.
I have few hours in the game, and not a lot of ideas, but i worked my cupons like this:
I set the production line just for the sink.
You can put as many as you want and they will work as one. So you can do it in several parts of the map/factory.
Caterium is a good one for that, since i don´t use a lot.
I overclock the miner MK2 3 times at the pure node, split it in 3 then belts, then goes for 3 smelters for ingots and them to the sink.
It helped me a lot.

Why not just split the input x-times, same thing, much less work and much less conveyors., and when you fill the storage, EVERYTHING gets recycled that is excess instead of random moving goods for no reason. Much less moving parts, less potential lag. Doing large builds, you will want to prevent moving stuff needlessly.

mystery says:

Just make a bunch of sinks everywhere. That's what I'm doing and getting coupons faster.

Logan Walker says:

Does the smart splitter not yet have the overflow function when the vid was made?

Ricardo Sendes says:

smart splitters b4 the box input.. come on..

Blah Dedah says:

I'll usually just use a smart splitter with overflow function once everything backs up it all gets sunk it's useful when passively filling space elevator orders and if your running a single bus and dont want it backing up

redlock07 says:

A better way of doing it is to put a smart splitter before the cargo box and make Only the excess from the line go to the Awesome Sink That way your box will always get the rgoods before the awesome sink

Epholos says:

Now you can simply use a smart splitter and set it to overflow but I guess this can still be useful for before you get it (although at that point its better to simply use a spare ore spot)

Echo.Whiskey says:

was there no overflow setting on the smart splitter when this was filmed?

dunealex73 says:

Or, use an industrial storage bin as an overflow valve. It'll always output on the lower belt if in and output are the same. So the second it starts filling, it sends stuff out the upper belt. I connect the upper one to the sink and the lower to my actual storage.

MTC…. any raver who’s been around a while knows that MTC stands for masturbate to cartoons

Strielok says:

Better idea is to make overflow release system on belt before container, which will start splitting after filling up container.5 mergers and 5 splitters. Connect splitters in a row then mergers above them or underneath them, connect sides with elevators like in this clip. Connect input with spltter and main output with merger. Output with sink You want to connect to last splitter. After filling up container and belts in this contraptions it'll send all excess material to the sink, also You'll waste only 1 item per ~15000 items going further to container, if I did math correctly.

The Boss says:

Why can't you just build a splitter BEFORE the container?
One line goes in the storage and one in the sink.
If the storage fills than the splitter routes all the excess in the sink . . .

Whywolf Senpai says:

Or, you know, just toss 1 splitter and maybe a merger on the input before it hits the container so it fills at 1/3, 1/2, or 2/3 speed and eventually everything just skips right to the sink

Виктор Волков says:

… … … why? We just can connect storage>A-sink wish N_tier belt (where N is [production>storage belt]_tire minus 1+). Or just use smart splitter to sent overload to A-sink.

vent your spleen says:

all i do is to add a splitter before the storage and connect directly into sink. storage gets filled half as fast but once it's done, all the products are directed into sink. you can always manually disconnect from the sink until it's full. I haven't worked with more than 2 materials at a time tho. i m about to start producing 1800 quickwire per min for my supercomputer factory but before i build next line of machines i will feed all 4 lines of 450 into individual sinks. only downside is as i said the bins fills slowly. with multiple materials another method would be bottlenecking the belts into slower ones but there may not be a guarantee unless you calculate real serious

Greyghost Grey says:

I use a overflow with 9 splitters in a straight line with 9 mergers per side center line goes to the sink and RL merge to go to storage. 19683 items to storage 1 to sink after storage is full 100% to sink just takes little more room to set up.

HourglassKeradon says:

Well this video was brilliant enough to earn the sub from me, as well as the follow in Twitch under my Githarnian handle. Learned not only an AWESOME sink process that's much more cleaner than my current one (The split is at the input of the storage container and not the output…), but that tight method to use conveyor lifts with mergers…that's an exceedingly delicious load balancing idea. I can also see using a walkway in a megabase that runs across those storage containers.

djer in the house says:

Thx was really helpfull i currently have the stupidest setup but this will make it way better.

Mark Penzer says:

Doesn't the industrial storage have an overflow output?

Jonathan Gilbert says:

And here I am committing the unpardonable sin of not using the A.W.E.S.O.M.E. sink at all…..

DylanSavage says:

Great video Max. Will definitely be adding this to my factory later.

Runnergames says:

Also this could be useful for load balancing in big factories

Runnergames says:

I just built a totally separate factory for my auto sinking items (currently 4 smart plates/min, producing 4.6k points/min). In theory I could do this and run half of them into the spelevator, but it would half ticket production.

Emvidia says:

Popping in to offer a view. I'll watch it later to give you some constructive thoughts.

Bobby Hestand says:

Great video! Thanks for putting it together!

Siggo says:

That's really smart 🙂
