factorio is really hard, I don't even know how to properly clock inserters for green science :( 2500h btw

like it's GREEN SCIENCE it should be trivial but no, I can't get everything to sync properly

Update: after many hours I found the issue! Turns out when using lead-follower inserter clocking, which is the best for ups, the output inserter should not be set to enable/disable on condition, but to set filter from the circuit network

Anyway, here is the design I made. This makes 480 green science per second with ultra late game stuff, and 100 copies of this takes around 4.5 ms per update on my pc.

This is a fully direct insertion build, which I realized later might not be the best idea for green science even though it's usually the way to go. The reason is that I had to add many copies of machines where just 1 or 2 would have been enough (like the foundries for belts, gears and inserters), but still I am curious to see how it holds up against other people's designs in the contest I'm participating in

And funny thing, what helped me find the issue was that I scratched the whole design and started making a belt-based one where I make all the intermediate products at the start.

So I also finished that one later, and it cuts exactly at 480 science/s with no overflow at all. But it works great and was much much simpler to make. After some testing, 100 copies of it take around 4.0 ms per update in my pc. A bit better than the other one, but not that much considering it only has a third of the inserters.

Anyway, I've submitted both designs and now I just need to wait for the results! Wish me luck
