I'm back with more Factorio All Item Train! In this episode we construct most of the electricity producing items on the second crafting tab.

We start off producing steam turbines. This is relatively straightforward, needing only pipes beyond the basic items on our bus.

We then go on to produce solar panels and accumulators. While these take 10 seconds to produce each, with speed modules and 8 assemblers for each, we produce them above 200 per minute!

We then set up production of heat exchangers and heat pipes. Both of these use a lot of copper, so this production area gets 5 belts of copper coming into it! With all this copper, we can produce about 90 heat exchangers a minute and 120 heat pipes.

Finally, we have one more item to produce from the second tab, and that is the nuclear reactor. While it takes only 8 seconds to produce, it needs 500 of four different materials, which takes much more than 8 seconds to put into an assembler. Since an assembler has four sides, and each side can have three inserters, it would be nice to have 3 stack inserters for each material. Unfortunately, we need to use one inserter for output, leaving one of the materials with less inserters than the others, which would cause it to always be a bottleneck. So, I've come up with a blueprint that has two stack inserters for each material, one output inserter, and the remaining three inserters pull from requester chests that request all four needed materials, so that can help insert whatever the assembler is currently lowest on. This makes it the first production area that uses logistics bots so far. With this setup, each assembler machine makes about two reactors a minute, and we have four such assemblers.

That wraps up the second tab of crafting, and this episode!
