Conveyor Belt Mk1

It is the first throughput decision: a belt can keep a short chain supplied, but a bus or long route needs capacity checks before you copy it everywhere.

When it fits: Choose it for a compact early line or a deliberately low-rate route; compare a later belt where the source has one.

The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 2 Iron Plate at Constructor; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. Building the belt network is one-time material demand; the machines and source materials that run through it remain a separate recurring-flow plan.
