There are, however, a few points to keep in mind that apply in general.
Stacking machines on top of each other is a great way to save space.
Ratios
One of the most important aspects of automation ismaintaining your ratios.
Maintaining correct ratios means utilizing different belt speeds, Slpitters and Nergers, and Overclocking and Underclocking.
In these cases, it may be worthwhile tostore these items for later.
This is also where theAwesome Sinkcomes in handy.
