Here is the initial testing I've done for the Smelting and new rocket launch system for my Factorio megabase. I also show off my item storage display system.

I start off testing out the efficiency of the smelting system that I've set up for my mega base. It seems to work ok, but there are a few issues that become a bit apparent. Not all of the train cars are unloading evenly, so I decide to put in a belt balancer system to help with that, as well as correct a few inserters that are facing the wrong way.

I also find that with the amount of trains going far out into the rail network, there are a few bottle necks that need to be corrected to improve the flow of trains, and therefore the amount of ore reaching the smelters.

After I have the smelters going, I start up the new rocket launch system to see hoe it performs. I find that I've hooked up the liquids backwards, so I correct that. It takes a bit for it to get up to full speed, but this seems to be a good system, although not quite as fast as I would like. I find that the rocket gets built before the satellite is ready, so i bring another belt of materials to it.

I then run a shorter research to really test the new rocket, and with materials backed up, it takes a bit over a minute! It won't be that quick in the long run, but that seems a good initial test to me.

So I have some things to fix up with the smelters, and some improvements to do to the rail network, but this test was mostly successful!
