While that is removing trash, a lot of stuff still stays in my inventory.

Not sure about that first one, but the second one? Ever get hit by a train?

No, I'm not that stupid.

I hope you're not envisioning a mobile version of the turret. Flame jet is probably a more apt descriptor: short range, no pools of fire, continuous ankle-biter-melting output that is slightly choppy in practice since the jet has to turn off to achieve it's max radians per second (at least, it appears so to me). It has very good utility for speeding progress through forests should you wish to expedite your return trip or blaze a shortcut.

Hmm... It's probably just using a different kind of projectile. I think turning it into the other kind would be a nice exercise.

I saw that too! What could it mean? We know about the spidertron, but... artillery train? Is this like a train car that fires at enemies, long-range? If so, I can see myself making one or two dedicated artillery train cars to keep the perimeter clear.

That would be fun.

I don't mind refueling. It's not much more difficult than "stop at a station and get fuel handed in with inserters".

its the same difference between coal fueled furnaces and electrical furnaces.

Of course i have no problem fueling them, its easier to do so with the electrical ones, though.

Why shouldnt i be able to power my train system with the same power plant thats powering the rest of the factory already?

I guess. I rarely rip up my original assembly line anyway. Too lazy, and I don't like shifting everything for 3x3 furnaces instead of 2x2. It's not like there's ever a shortage of coal, either.

Use a base foundry design that is built to be expanded later into 3x3

L = Long Inserter
S = Short Inserter
F = Furnace
p = Power Line (basic one)

You only have to remove a long inserter per furnace, and upgrade each to electric.
With the three lines of Ore in, you can get a fair level of ore input and keep a LOT of furnaces going at once.
Adding another middle line instead at the start is an option, the two middle lines would then begin as ore+coal, and turn into ore+ore.
Would mean each side got four lines of ore along it's two belts.
The short inserters should be upgraded to fast ones. And you could put a line of crates in before the output lines, like below...

c = Crate
