nice video! instead of guessing, you should look at the capacity of the belt, and machines and work from there. get exact numbers rather than guessing. also, when overclocking, instead of adjusting the % you can actually click on the per minute section and type in the exact per minute that you want to get. EDIT: the miner will always be limited by the belt speed, adding a splitter doesnt help because the bit of belt before the splitter still limits the speed. its part of a big community complaint, with a mk3 miner, and 250% overclocked, it is impossible to bring out all the ore fast enough. they have said there is a fix for this in 1.0 but havent said what it is. could be faster belts, could be a second output for the miner, could be something else.
I think you'll find that T2 miners just need a bit of overclocking to hit the max belt speed, for pure nodes anyway. For reference T1 miners base output is 30/60/120 for impure/normal/pure nodes, T2 is 60/120/240 (doubled), and T3 is 120/240/480 (doubled again).
@@jaye1967 im unsure how this applies to my comment? he was trying to improve throughput by adding a splitter, but that doesnt help because the initial belt will always limit your throughput regardless. as for the miners, you just proved my point. with a mk3 at 250% you are producing 1200 resources, but you can only pull out 780 currently.
@@marcbennett9232 my guess would be a t6 belt in tier 10. Seems like the easier solution to make pure mk3 miners useable without breaking the early game. Mods like snap on kinda break early game when you're pulling 360 rss from 1 node and only mk2 belts.

I found a mod that avoids the problem altogether. Snap-On. Apply directly to Miner.
@@hesthatguylove that mod. So handy

There are plenty of coal nodes directly north of your base at the little lake , great place for power there also
That's where we built our giga-coal facility. Check back a few episodes and you'll find it.
